A total of thirty gamecock hatching eggs was used in this study to determine the correlation of the size of eggs to hatchability and quality of chicks hatched. Eggs were classified according to size as small, medium and large with the aid of vernier caliperĀ° Eggs were then divided into three treatments and replicated two times with five eggs per replication. Small eggs were placed under Treatment I; medium eggs under Treatment II; and large eggs under Treatment III. Results of the study showed that there was no significant difference in hatchability, initial weight, livability and quality of chicks hatched although there was significant difference in egg size. Livability of all the chicks hatched was 100% within 5 days allotment. Chicks classification was not given much emphasis since their initial weight was almost the same.
