Hatching Questions 
Where is the best location for an incu¬ 
bator? We have a damp cellar and an 
NxSxfi brooder house. Which is better? 
Should the temperature vary toward the 
end of hatch? If so. how much? What 
causes deformed chicks when eggs are 
turned every day? Mow can we prevent 
chicks from drying fast to pipped egg and 
dying? D. B. II. 
New Jersey 
The temperature of the cellar should be 
I more uniform and will aid in keeping 
that of the incubator tit the proper point. 
The moisture will be of benefit, rather 
than otherwise, it usually being found 
advisable to sprinkle the floor of an or¬ 
dinary cellar daily to keep a .sufficient 
amount of moisture in the air. The tem¬ 
perature in the machine will gradually 
rise during the latter part of the hatch, 
this rise being due to heat given off from 
i the bodies of the rapidly developing 
chicks. If the regulator does not auto¬ 
matically control it. the regulator may be 
adjusted from time to time, though a rise 
to 104 or even 10,> while the chicks are 
actively hatching will do no harm and 
need not be given attention. I do not 
know what causes deformities in chicks: 
neither. 1 think, does anyone else. Chicks 
that break the shell but do not emerge 
are lacking in vigor and it is doubtful if 
it would be of any advantage to the flock 
to save these chicks, if it were possible. 
Vigor and hatehability depend very large¬ 
ly upon the breeding stock behind the 
eggs, and it is in the-selection and care of 
these that the chief remedy for chicks 
dead in the shell must be looked for.
