No. First of all, the eggs you buy at the supermarket are unfertilized. They have never been fertilized by a male chicken (a rooster) and thus cannot grow into baby chickens, any more than a woman's egg cell can grow into a baby without a man's sperm. Even if they were fertilized, they have been stored at very cold temperatures, so by the time you got them, the chicken embryos would be long dead.

No, you have to have a fertilized egg and the eggs from the store are not fertilized.

Only hens lay eggs and cockerels are needed to fertilise an egg. Normally hens are only kept with other hens.

No, temperature and humidity must be specific for 21 days for the embryo to develop.

Octopus hatch from eggs. The female octopus protects the eggs and makes sure they are clean and healthy as they grow. She will die right after the babies hatch, though, because she doesn't eat the entire time she's guarding her eggs.

How many eggs can a light sussex sit on?

A full sized light sussex hen could potentially sit on over 20 eggs. However, she would struggle to cope with that many chicks if the hatch was a successful one. 15 is a good number. Also make sure u mark any eggs that are underneath her, she will be stealing eggs left right and centre from your other hens trying to make them hatch too. there's a high chance these eggs wont hatch as they would be at an ealier stage of incubation when the majority of the chicks hatch. its very annoying when a broody hen steals all your eating eggs and you cant tell the difference between them.

Why won't chickens hatch if a person has touched the egg with barehands?

They will hatch if touched by bare hands. We raised what is now called "free range" chickens when I was growing up on the farm. I gather my eggs by hand every day and keep select ones to place under my hens when they become broody. So every one has been handled by hand several times before setting them. Just make sure that your hands are clean and clean the eggs if they are soiled by wiping with a damp cloth and allowing to dry. Store the eggs you want to hatch with the large end up in an egg carton at room temperature.


Where can you get fertilized pigeon eggs and could i use them in a incubator?

I am not sure where to get fertilized pigeon eggs, but why not look into getting chicken or duck eggs. You can usually get them from a local farmer for free as long as you promise to return the young after they hatch. You are getting the same experience for free, or next to free! And Yes, chicken and duck eggs can hatch in an incubator.
