Eggs intended for hatching should preferably be kept in a cool room with temperature between 40 and 60 degress Fahrenheit. They will not hatch well when stored in a room with a temperature over 80 degress at any time, since the germ develops at this temperature and the albumen lose* density. Place the eggs in a basket, cover them with a muslin cloth, and do not disturb or turn them. Do not keep eggs desired for hatching (or for table use) on cottonseed hulls. It is not advisable to use eggs mor • than two weeks old* for hatching, while for the best results the eggs should not be more than live days old Mg Eggs PnMture Big Cltick*.
