More than 75 000 hen eggs were exposed to chronic gamma irradiation throughout the incubation period with a total dose of 2.9 r. The hatching of chicks rose an average 2.7% and the egg-laying capabllity of the hens grown from the irradiated embryos increased by 7 to 10%. Salts of U and Th in glass tubes were mounted in wooden frames which were placed beneath the tray holding the eggs for incubation. Experiments indicated that a dose rate of 100 mu r/min gave best results. The procedure is described in detail and data are presented graphically. (C.H.)
