You can get the information you need online or at the place where you bought your eggs. If you are wanting a rare breed, some people purchase already fertilized eggs and use an incubator. It is a personal choice. If you incubate, you will usually have more chicks than if you let nature take its course.

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.
How hot is an incubator?
Try to keep the temperature between 99 and 102 degree F. 100 F is the best. Also humidity is as important. Keep water inside the incubator and keep the humidity at 60 percent. Moisture is important. Find a remote temperature sensor and put the read out where you can see it. The eggs will begin to generate heat as they get closer to hatching, and the temperature may climb in the incubator.
Will eggs hatch even without a heating pad Cause i can't find a incubator and my chicken keep on breaking the eggs and eating them . I would like to have some chicks but i dont know what to do?
Eggs will not hatch if they have not been incubated either by a hen or by an incubator. And it's not the chickens that are breaking and eating your eggs. It's snakes, rats, raccoons, opossums and other such animals. I suggest you strengthen your coups defenses or bye/make an incubator otherwise you will never have your eggs hatch out.

What do you do when a mallard hen has two clutches of eggs at the same time?
When hatching duck eggs I put a wet sponge in the incubator when it starts to dry out wet it again- and always use warm water. 2 clutches? Do u have more then one hen? I find it odd shed do that.. are all the eggs in one nest? A mallard could well hmm hatch 8-10 eggs i think. I would suggest you do one of two things: (a) Cull the excess eggs because it is unlikely she will be able to hatch a very large clutch of eggs successfully. As tempting as it may be to try to let her hatch out 2 dozen or more, you are probably wasting her time and yours. (b) Invest in an incubator for the excess eggs. However, I have been told by poultry people that duck eggs can be difficult to hatch because of moisture/humidity concerns.
How long is the incubation of a dove egg?
Generally it will take 14 days. Some species of doves take longer. Most doves lay a clutch of two eggs. Hatching in an incubator will require a constant temperature of 101F with a humidity of 50%+. Turning the egg for the first 11 days is very important but dove eggs are very fragile and turning must be done with great care.

How do you take care of bird eggs?
I've been trying to find the answer to this question too! I've been looking all over the Internet to find this answer! The only information I've gotten so far would be, that if the eggs are in a nest, then just leave them there. However if you come up to find one with no mother or nest of any kind in sight, it's hard to care for it because it needs to be 100 degrees when hatching. Also gently rotating the egg in this heat so it does not get overheated in one area. The Internet article stated that in most cases it is illegal to be in possession of a wild bird egg. Please read ALL THREE articles for helpful information about bird eggs and newborn birds by going here:http://www.wild-bird-watching.com/bird-egg.html The link leads to the website in which I found the information above.Also, there is a Live Nest Cam where you can see a nest, recording LIVE.

Any flour product has meal worm eggs in it. the eggs are so tiny that processing the grain into flour does not destroy them. the eggs will hatch in products kept at room temperature. to keep eggs from hatching, use soon after purchase or keep in the refrigerator. Spearmint (spearmint chewing gum) also keeps the eggs from hatching.
