TIPS TO
IMPROVE
EGGSHELL
QUALITY...
“Let’s get specific”
Check specific gravity of eggs on a regular basis to
monitor shell quality The percent “floaters" and “eggs in
transition” in a room temperature solution of 1.08 sp gr
is a good bench mark
AlO gal bucket, a hydrometer, and an individual egg
scale is all the equipment you need Used with breeder
guidelines, this test can help you fine-tune the level of
oyster shell needed at each stage in the laying cycle.
For details on sp gr tests and the use of oyster shells,
