CHICKS DYING IN THE SHELL
Common Trouble in Matching and One
Causing Many Failures Unno-
ticed for Many Years.

Chicks dying in the shell is a very
common trouble in Matching and one
which causes many failures each year.
There was no attempt to discover why
chicks die in the shell until the hatch
ing Of them with incubators became
popular, although this trouble FREEDOM
mated when old biddy sat on the eggs
long before the incubator was even
thought of. There were only few
under each hen at the most, and moth
ing was thought of it, but when the In
cuhltor came into the field and made
1t possible to hatch them by the hun
dreds the cause of chicks dying in the
shell came up for discussion.
Remember that the secret of secur-
Ing high per cent matches depends as
much upon strongly fortified eggs
laid by healthy, vigorous birds as upon
proper incubation. The more frequent
causes of chicks dying in the shell
where the incubator or operator is at
fault are irregular temperature, neg
lect in turning the eggs, improper ven
tilation or more frequently caused by
operating the incubator in a poorly
ventilated room The directions &C
companying an incubator are general
ly to be relied upon, and if these are
followed carefully no greater trouble
should be experienced with the chicks
dying in the shell where eggs are in
cubated by artificial than by natural
means, due allowance being made for
the experience of the operator.
Why chicks die in the shell is some
what of difficult question to answer.
