Fertile eggs are eggs that have the potential to hatch into live chicks. Checking the fertility of eggs is an important step in the poultry farming process, as it allows farmers to identify and remove infertile eggs from the incubator. There are several methods for checking the fertility of eggs, including candling, flotation, and shaking.
Checking the fertility of eggs is important for several reasons. First, it helps to ensure that only fertile eggs are incubated, which can save time and resources. Second, it helps to identify and remove infertile eggs from the incubator, which can prevent the spread of bacteria and disease. Third, it allows farmers to track the fertility of their flock and make adjustments to their breeding program as needed.
