25-35 days maybe longer but after a week it is dead.........
it would take a while for it to happen, firstly your incubated egg would be in the incubator for around 30 days, after the incubation has finished it would take around 7-8 weeks for it two be fully grown.
Fetal development of a chick is quite interesting and complicated. After the egg is laid it takes only three weeks for the chick to come out of the egg. When the egg is laid, all the cells inside the egg are exactly the same. Then the backbone and head develop. Blood is formed on the second day and limbs start to grow on the third day.
yes so the egg can get fertilized and a chick can develop (:
A young chick develops inside the egg and can be hatched naturally or through hatcheries. The young chick depends on the egg yolk for nutrients.
If a hen is in with NO rooster, and lays an egg, then that egg is infertile and cannot hatch.
The embryo, which in a fertilized egg is a tiny speck attached to the yoke sack.
Maybe because it's unfertilized? (Durr)
A baby chick typically loses its egg tooth within the first few days after hatching. The egg tooth is used to break through the shell during the hatching process, and once the chick is out of the egg, it is no longer needed.
The mass of a chicken egg decreases as the chick develops because the developing chick utilizes the nutrients stored in the egg for growth and development. As the chick grows, it consumes the egg white and yolk, which results in a reduction in the overall mass of the egg.
Technically, an unfertilized egg is not alive. Since this question is in regard to chickens...the egg itself will develop normally and will be laid by the hen. The unfertilized egg will begin to rot during incubation whereas a fertilized egg will start to develop into a chick.
Believe it or not, a chicken's egg is actually a semi-permeable membrane which allows oxygen to reach the chick. Shelaque or varnish seals the egg and makes it air tight. Without oxygen, the chick cannot develop and essentially suffocates.
The cytoblast is contained inside the egg. It is found at or near the top of the egg yolk. It is too small to see with the human eye and cannot develop into a chick unless the egg is fertilized by a rooster and properly incubated.
