The hen supi)lies the heat necessaryfor hatching, and in ailililion supplies the eggwitli a certain amount of moisture, and assistsin drying down the eggs. The down upon herfeathers contains a small amount of moisturederived from the hen, which prevents the eggsbecoming unduly dry. On the other hand, thedown absorbs moisture from Ihc eggs, when-ever the humidity of the air is such as to allowit to collect upon their surfaces. Tlie downthus regulates the amount of evaporation, andconsequently, when hatching with hens, weseldom have any trouble with the air down has no counterp:irt in artilicialincubation.
