Pregnancy
Incubation typically refers to the process of keeping eggs warm until they hatch, often in birds or reptiles. Gestation, on the other hand, refers to the process of carrying and developing offspring within the uterus of a mammal until birth.
Gestation refers to the period of pregnancy. ie - A human gestation period would be 9 months.
Incubation typically refers to the process of keeping eggs warm until they hatch, while gestation is the period from conception to birth in pregnant mammals. Incubation is commonly seen in birds and reptiles, while gestation is a characteristic of mammals.
No, gestation and incubation are not the same thing. Gestation refers to the period of development of embryos inside the body of a pregnant female mammal, culminating in live birth. Incubation, on the other hand, refers to the process of maintaining eggs at the right temperature and conditions to allow embryos to develop outside the body, as seen in birds and reptiles. While both processes involve the development of offspring, they occur in different species and contexts.
Cassowaries are birds, so they do not have a gestation period, as gestation refers to the length of a pregnancy. Cassowary eggs take between 50 and 60 days to incubate, or hatch.
Gestation.
Gestation is the length of time that a female mammal carries her baby before birth. Only mammals give birth to live young, so the word is only used to refer to mammals. The gestation period is different for every mammal. Humans have a gestation period of around nine months.
No, animals that lay eggs do not have a gestation period. Instead, the embryo develops inside the egg until it is ready to hatch. Gestation typically refers to the time a mammal carries a developing fetus inside its body before giving birth.
Gestation is the scientific description of the process of caring a fetus within the uterus, more commonly called "being pregnant". The gestation period can last as short as a few days in marsupials and as long as two years in elephants.

Parturition is the birthing process. Gestation period is 11-12 months.
The term "gestation length" refers to mammals. Pheasants are birds, not mammals. So the number you are looking for is more commonly referred to as "time to hatching" or perhaps "incubation length."
