The collected data can now be analyzed and evaluated with the chick length analysis program.

Download the chick length analysis program here.

The program will automatically calculate the percentage of chicks in each category, the average chick length, and the percentage of small chicks.

Chick Length guidelines
Breeding age group	Chick length range	Small chicks	% Small chicks
			Goal A	Goal B
Young	19.0 - 21.0 cm	< 17.5 cm	< 1.5 %	0 %
Prime	19.5 - 21.5 cm	< 18 cm	< 1.5 %	0 %
Old	20.0 - 22.0 cm	< 18.5 cm	< 1.5 %	0 %

Compare the results with the chick length guidelines in the table below.

When the average chick length or percentage small chicks does not meet the goals in the table below, the incubation process, the breeder flock influence, and the culling procedures must be further evaluated.
