The objective of this chapter is to present scientific evidence indicating the importance of incubation conditions on skeletal development, leg health, and locomotion. The first section will describe embryo bone development in avian species, its regulation, and the interaction effects of the environment. The second portion of the chapter will describe some literature documenting incubation factors' effects on bone development.
