The formula to calculate the hatch day (H) is:
\[ H = L + I \]
Where:
Let's say the lay date (L) is 2024-08-01 and the incubation period (I) is 21 days. Using the formula:
\[ H = 2024-08-01 + 21 \, \text{days} \]
We get:
\[ H = 2024-08-22 \]
So, the hatch day is August 22, 2024.
Definition: Calculates the expected hatching date for chicken eggs.
Formula: \( \text{Hatch Date} = \text{Incubation Start Date} + 21 \text{ days} \)
Example: \( \text{Hatch Date} = \text{March 1} + 21 \text{ days} \)
