The incubation time for kiwi eggs typically ranges from 70 to 80 days. During this period, the male kiwi incubates the eggs, keeping them warm and protected until they hatch. The exact duration can vary slightly depending on environmental conditions and the specific species of kiwi. After hatching, the chicks are precocial, meaning they are relatively mature and mobile.
Shortest incubation - around 11 days for quite a few small passerines. Longest incubation - no simple answer as some birds can stop incubation from time to time and the egg(s) will still hatch, but over 80 days has been recorded for kiwis and albatrosses, including periods of desertion. Emperor penguins continuously incubate their eggs and incubation takes 9-10 weeks.

The word "incubation" directly refers to the time an egg needs to be kept warm before it hatches. Since cows do not lay eggs, they do not have an incubation period. They have what is called a "gestation" period. This gestation period is generally 285 days long.
A storm dragon has an incubation time of 3 hours.
The frostfire dragon has an incubation time of 12 hours.
The effect of decreasing incubation time on optical density is that optical density decreases. Incubation time and optical density have a proportional relationship.
The incubation time for a rainbow dragon in DragonVale is 48 hours.
Refrigerate kiwis for up to 1-2 weeks to keep them fresh.
The incubation time is important because however long your culture is kept in incubation affects how many colonies you will have at the end. A short incubation time will result in minor bacterial growth, whereas a longer incubation will result in more colonies, as you're giving the bacteria more time to grow. Be careful, if you leave your culture in incubation for too long, the bacteria will begin to use up all of the agar and start competing for food resources. If left even longer, this will consequently result in the death of your culture.
