Abstract: This study was carried out to investigate, the relationships among chick hatching weight, egg weight and egg weight loss during preincubation storage period in Japanese quail. Correlation coefficients between chick hatching weight and egg weight, egg weight loss during 4 days preincubation period were determined as 0.47 (p<0.01) and 0.36 (p<0.01). Highly positive correlations among egg weight loss groups were determined (p<0.01).
