TLDR
It was hypothesized that the rate of embryonic development, as measured by hours of incubation, navel score, embryo and chick weights, is accelerated by an exposure to light during incubation.About:

In ovo exposure to monochromatic green light promotes skeletal muscle cell proliferation and affects myofiber growth in posthatch chicks
TL;DR: It is suggested that the stimulatory effect of in ovo illumination on posthatch muscle growth is the result of enhanced proliferation and differentiation of adult myoblasts and myofiber synchronization.

The postnatal demasculinization of sexual behavior in the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica).
M. Schumacher,Jacques Balthazart +1 more
TL;DR: Three experiments were performed to analyze the time course of demasculinization in the Japanese quail and to test the activating and organizing effects of estradiol (E2) in adult sexually active birds.

Monochromatic light stimuli during embryogenesis enhance embryo development and posthatch growth
TL;DR: Results suggest that stimulation with green light enhances development and growth in chicks and that the best effect is achieved when this stimulus is provided during incubation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of providing light during incubation on the health, productivity, and behavior of broiler chickens
TL;DR: It is indicated that providing light during incubation has no detrimental effect on production or health of broilers, but does have potential benefits in terms of reducing the effects of stressors associated with production and growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of meat production by environmental manipulations in embryo and young broilers
TL;DR: In experiments in which eggs were illuminated under monochromatic green light from embryonic day 5 (E5), there was a positive effect on embryo development and posthatch muscle growth, and further studies revealed that this enhanced muscle weight was due to increased satellite cell number and fiber synchronization during early days posthatching.
