Eggshell quality plays a key role in hatchability. The flotation method has been favored to detect eggshell quality due to its low cost and practicality. However, this method comes short of detecting some abnormalities such as hairline cracks and translucent spots. A newer method of measuring egg shell quality has been developed to score eggs based on the amount of translucency of the eggshell. This summary highlights a study published in Poultry Science that investigated the possible interactions of various eggshell measurements.
