Hatchability in turkey eggs stored for 15 days prior to setting improves if the incubator temperature during the fi rst 7-14 days of incubation is increased (Christensen and colleagues in 2003).
Add stinky to the list of preferred fly aromas and a dirty chicken butt is a recipe for flystrike. After the fly eggs are laid on or in the skin, the larvae can hatch into maggots in less than 24 hours; the maggots then begin feeding on the skin, causing deep, painful sores that can become infected.
Chickens can fly for short distances. In the wild, they roost in trees, not on the ground. Chicken farmers will pin their wings to keep them under manageable control. Gene â¦ tically-modified chickens are raised for human consumption, and are not structurally the same as wild birds.
