Embryo Transfer to multi-well plates. (a,b) CAD drawing of the quail egg opener in the before and after positions for opening quail eggs. (c) The blade collision device to open the quail eggs and transfer them to the six-well plate. (d) The quail batches used for the device method varied between 40 and 75 quail eggs per batch with 8 batches done. Three batches were used for the manual forceps method had between 32 and 75 quail eggs each with 3 batches done, error bars are standard deviation. (e) Number of viable egg yolks transferred to six-well plates weekly over a period of 9 weeks. (f) The age vs survival of the quail embryos used to choose the experiment start date error bars are standard deviation.
