Bird eggs are laid at different times, so they usually hatch first laid first hatch and so on. This is more common among raptors. For other birds, embryos develop when the egg is incubated, and birds will delay incubation until all eggs are laid so that all the chicks will hatch at the same time.

Eggs of the same species have the same incubation time, usually a period of two or three weeks. If a bird laid an egg every day for five days but delayed incubating the eggs (keeping them warm by sitting on them) until all five eggs were laid they would all hatch at the same time. If the same scenario were true but the bird started incubating the first egg right away, the eggs would all probably hatch on different days.

Eggs of different species have different incubation times.
