Where can you put the egg to form a baby chicken?
If you are collecting the fertile eggs (the eggs from stores are infertile) store them upside down in an egg cartoon in a cool place (NOT THE FRIDGE). Don't let them sit for more than one week. Once you either have all you want or it has been a week you may now place them in an incubator or under a broody hen.
After the parrot lays the eggs in a box when do you put the eggs in an incubator?
Well, you should wait for her to finish laying all of her eggs. Birds usually lay eggs aday or so apart. After that, wait about a week so that if you take them away instinct won't prompt her to lay more eggs. Anyways, then put them in the incubator. I'm no expert in bird breeding, however, so I recommend you also go to your vet or local bird breeder for information.
What is an egg that is not fertile callled?
An egg that has not been fertilized by the rooster's sperm is called an infertile egg. a hen will lay infertile eggs without the assistance of a rooster. Commercial egg layers have never and will never know what a rooster looks like, but they will produce an infertile egg 6 days out of a 7 day week.
What eggs do you need for incubator?
Well, first you need a rooster, to make the eggs fertile. If the eggs are not fertile, they will not hatch. Watch the rooster with the hens to see if he mates them. Make sure to gather 5 more eggs than you want to hatch, to ensure a good hatch rate. The temperature in the incubator should be within 1 degree of 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit(for chicken eggs). After about 4 days in the incubator, you should candle the eggs to see if they are fertile. If you can see red veins, they are fertile. If you can't, leave the eggs in for about 8 or so more days, candling every other day. If after 10 or so days you can see nothing, pitch the egg. If you are dealing with brown or dark colored eggs, leave in for a week before candling. Hope this helped
Can you move a broody hen?
Do you mean move eggs being incubated? If you move eggs from under a chicken, she may move with them, or she may just leave them. If she has been sitting for a few days it is best to throw away the eggs. I have a very young chicken sitting right now, on all the eggs she can find! It remains to be seen if she will stay the course, or if the eggs are fertilized as the cockerel is quite old. I have moved eggs from where they were being sat on, but the chicken did not sit on them once moved. She was in a flower bed, and not really in a safe place. After about a week, she was disturbed by a hedgehog, at 2:00 in the morning. If a hen is determined enough, and you can somehow move her and the eggs simultaneously, it may work. They can be moved to an incubator and kept at the same temperature, but once left uncovered for a few hours, they are unlikely to hatch. ******************************************************************** Of course you can move chicken eggs. I have taken them from the coop and have put them in the incubator with an undetermined age of the eggs. After they are in the incubator I handle them with protective gloves to avoid contamination.
Can you hatch chicks without an incubator?
If you have obtained fertilized eggs, they can be sucessfully incubated, but the chicks MUST be kept warm after hatching. Recommended temperature after hatching is 95-99 degrees F the first week and decrease by 5 degrees each week.
I added a duck egg in with my chicken the chicks hatched this morning the duck egg need a week what do i do?

How do i know if my duck egg is alive?
A week after your duck lays her eggs, you can take them in the dark and quickly flash them with a flashlight. If they are alive then you will see a dark area inside an otherwise clear egg. "At about seven days after setting, candle the eggs and remove any eggs that are infertile (clear) or have dead germ (cloudy)"(Duckhealth.com).

What is the recommended amount of eggs per week?
4-5 eggs a week
How do you know if your laying hen is trying to hatch her eggs?
She will have more than one egg under her and she will stay on the nest day and night. She may peck at you when you reach for her. This is called BROODING. If you do not have a rooster in the flock you might as well take the eggs from her as they will be infertile. A broody hen will stop brooding if you remove the eggs daily. This may take a week or more of dodging a well aimed beak.
How do you know when eggs are fertlie?
If the hen has been running with a rooster for a week the eggs shold be fertile. If you break it open you can see a white speck on the yellow yolk (sperm). Once incubation has begun you check development by candling the eggs. Hold up to a bright light or flashlight and you can see the emybro inside after a week or so.
If a chicken farm sold 3000 dozen eggs last week how many individual eggs were sold?
1 dozen = 12 so, 3000 dozen eggs = 3000 x 12 individual eggs = 36000 eggs were sold last week
