Does cutting eggs before pipping create bad feeders?

[coldbloodaddict]

I have cut just about every single egg I have hatched since 2002...Most eat a day or two after shed...A few hold out a couple weeks and I only have a few babies a year that need to be assist fed.


Over the years I have noticed picky/bad eaters seem to pass that along...I started selling anything that didn't eat well a while back...

From my experience, I think appetite, or lack thereof, may be genetic, I don't think cutting has much to do with it...
