Embryonic mortality does not occur randomly at all days of incubation (Christensen, 1978; Lerner et al., 1993; Krueger, 1993). More embryos die in the first and third trimesters than in the second. The frequency of "early embryonic mortality" has been observed to increase between 2 and 4 days in the chicken and between 3 and 6 days in the turkey (Hutt and Pilkey, 1930; Insko and Martin, 1935; Christensen, 1978; Lerner et al., 1993; Krueger, 1993). When comparisons are made between older (Hutt and Pilkey, 1930; Insko and Martin, 1935) and more recent studies (Lerner et al., 1993; Krueger, 1993), the increased frequencies of mortality at these early stages of incubation are similar at both periods of time.Many physiological and genetic events occur during the initial days of development. A brief description of these events is included below. The development is far more complex than is portrayed below, so the reader interested in greater detail is referred to additional papers (Hamburger and Hamilton, 1951; Eyal-Giladi, 1984; Gupta and Bakst, 1993). In the chicken Eyal-Giladi and Kochav (1984) stages I-X occur before oviposition and stages XI-XIII occur within the first 24 hours of incubation. The remaining stages discussed in the current paper are described by the Hamburger and Hamilton (1951) stages 1-24. In the turkey Gupta and Bakst (1997) stages I-VII occur before oviposition and the subsequent stages VIII-XIII occur during the first 48 hours of incubation. The remaining stages are described by the Hamburger and Hamilton (1951) stages 1-18.
