For home incubation, fertile eggs are collected over a maximum of 7 days and stored in a humid cool area. Once enough eggs are collected they are deposited into the incubator and remain at a constant 100.5 degrees F and a humidity of at least 58% to 65%. Turn the eggs every 12 hours or obtain an auto turning device. On day 18, humidity should be increased to 65%. The first egg should hatch on day 21 and it may take a full 24 hours to completely hatch all the eggs. Leave the new hatchlings among those not yet peeped as all the chicks need to be dry, warm and kept together to prevent pecking later in the brooder box.

The chicken eggs you are eating live or not?
Unless they are fertilized they are not alive and even when fertilized they are not alive unless incubated either naturally or artificially. Store bought eggs come from chickens that never see a rooster and will never produce a chick.
Can you artificially incubate freshwater shrimp eggs?
Yes, it is possible to artificially incubate freshwater shrimp eggs. The eggs can be collected and transferred to a separate container with controlled water parameters such as temperature, pH, and salinity. The eggs will then hatch within a specific time frame under these controlled conditions, allowing for successful incubation.
Chicks are born from eggs?

Artificial eggs to induce hens to lay their own?

When a blue jay is born is it incubated?
There's a terminology problem here. Birds, including blue jays, lay eggs. The eggs are then incubated until the young birds hatch from them. If you consider "hatching" to be the same as "being born", then no, the incubation has already taken place. If you consider "born" to correspond more to the egg laying part, then yes, the eggs are incubated after being laid.
