On Creature Breeder how do you get eggs to hatch faster?

Answer 1

Chicken egg laying is tied to the amount of light they receive. It is tied to the season (more hours of light in summer, fewer hours in winter). Thus is you just sit back and watch the seasons come and go, hens will lay fewer and fewer eggs as the hours of light diminish in winter. If you supplement their hours of light they will lay more. My resesearch shows that around 16 hours of light is ideal. So, when the season begins to change and natural light begins to be less than 16 hours, you can begin to provide artificial light to take it back up to the total of 16 hours. Of course this means adding more and more minutes of light until the season changes again and days begin to lengthen. We used to just begin turning on the supplemental light to the chickens when we got up in the morning and unplugged it when we went to bed. We have heard though, that it is better to just do it in the morning an let them go to bed with the sunset.That way they don't get caught outside the coop in the dark. They are kind of stupid and don't see well and could easily never find the door even if they were standing just outside it when the light went off. You just do some back calculating from when the sunset is to determine when the light needs to come on in the morning. Right now, we have a timer that turns it on at 3 a.m. and shuts off at some point we know the sun will be up. Last year our hens laid steadily all winter. They are older now, and we didn't get the supplemental light started until their laying had dropped off dramatically. You are supposed to "ease" them into longer days but we just started out at 16 hours of total light and after one week, the 7 hens that were laying one egg between them all each day are up to 3 per day. In a couple weeks, they should be up to about 5 to 6 per day throughout the winter. (It is now December 5th) Then our new hens (which one of our hens hatched in July) should begin laying about the 2nd week of January.We got a light at the feed store and a timer at the hardware store. Just hang the light where it won't touch anything and a few feet above the chickens. It helps keep the water in the hen house from freezing as much, also.

Light, space, health and nutrition are all key factors in egg production.

Answer 2

When a baby bird becomes too large to absorb oxygen through the pores of its eggshell, it uses its egg tooth to peck a hole in the air sac located at the flat end of the egg. This sac provides a few hours worth of air, during which the baby bird breaks through the eggshell to the outside. The egg tooth falls off several weeks after hatching.
