heat when in process OF incubation.
but an infertile egg absorbs the heat
without giving off any.
An infertile egg which touches one

duce the normal heat at that point at
least one degree in the fertile egg.
The eggs should be tested out again
or the fourteenth day to detect any
dead germs, which sometimes occur
from low vitality or other causes.
A rotten egg in a heated incubator
will eXude foul gases which lower the
hatchability of the fertile eggs in the

the eggs again at end of the second
week 10 remove all that do not show

Always turn and cool the eggs be-
