Summary

The hatchability of layers' eggs stored and incubated in different positions was examined at the Defence Agricultural Research Laboratory, Almora, India (5500' above sea level) in 1990. Hatchability was found to be highest in the eggs stored and incubated with their narrow end up and lowest in eggs stored and incubated horizontally.
