The effects of incubation period on body weight were significant (P<0.001, P<0.01, P<0.001) at all weeks. The effects of incubation period on body length were significant at hatch day, 1th, 2th and 4th weeks (P<0.05, P<0.001), but on shank length were only 3th, 4th and sth weeks (P<0.01, P<0.001). The effect of incubation period was not significant on carcass weight.
