From: Effects of storage periods and positioning during storage on hatchability and weight of the hatched chicks from different egg sizes

	Chick’s weight (g)
Period (days)
1	47.67 ± 0.27
4	47.05 ± 0.32
7	49.89 ± 2.06
10	49.62 ± 1.94
13	47.87 ± 0.28
Position
Up	48.38 ± 0.77
Down	48.45 ± 0.89
Size
Large	53.23 ± 1.38^a
Medium	47.38 ± 0.09^b
Small	44.67 ± 1.16^c

Small 60–64 g, medium 65–69 g, and large ≥ 70 g. Down air cell facing downwards, Up air cell facing upwards. ^a,b,cMeans along the same column with different superscripts are significantly (P < 0.05) different
