However, the rate of development can be affected by a range of factors; including the specific breed, the temperature of incubation, the delay between laying and incubation, and the time of year, raising the need to create a standardised system based on morphology rather than chronological age.

The three traits of pivotal temperature (the temperature at which the sex ratio is 50%), maternal nest-site choice, and nesting phenology have been identified as the key traits of TSD that can change, and of these, only the pivotal temperature is significantly heritable, this would have to increase by 27 standard deviations to compensate for a ...
Figure 1. Feathering types in ten-day-old chicks.Left: Fast normal-feathering chick. Right: Delayed-feathering chick carrying sex-linked K gene. Delayed-feathering in chickens is a genetically determined delay in the first weeks of feather growing, which occurs normally among the chicks of many chicken breeds and no longer manifests itself once the chicken completes adult plumage.
Normally the egg is incubated outside the body. However, in one recorded case, the egg incubation occurred entirely within a chicken. The chick hatched inside and emerged from its mother without the shell, leading to internal wounds that killed the mother hen. [8] Embryo development remains suspended until the onset of incubation.
The United States Department of Agriculture sizing is based by weight per dozen. [4] The most common U.S. size of chicken egg is 'Large' and is the egg size commonly referred to for recipes.
