The effects of initial egg mass (IEM) and percentage mass loss during incubation (%ML) on hatchability of rock partridge eggs were investigated. 2. Eggs at the extremes of IEM had lower fertility and embryonic mortality. 3. Eggs at the extremes of %ML also had low fertility and hatchability was disproportionately reduced in eggs that had lost less mass during incubation. 4. Chick mass was a function of both IEM and mass lost during incubation. 5. In these respects rock partridge eggs are similar to that of other domesticated species of poultry.en10.1080/00071660410001730879info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEffects of egg mass and percentage mass loss during incubation on hatchability of eggs of the rock partridge (Alectoris graeca)Article45338038415327124Q2WOS:000222551400010Q2
