Do eggs start developing the day they are laid or when they are put into an incubator?
Development of a fertilized egg begins when temperature and humidity are within certain parameters. An artificial incubator recreates the conditions a brood hen would when she sets on a clutch of eggs. 100.5 F and a humidity of 60%+ are optimum. A fertilized egg that is collected and stored in a cool (50F or lower) dry place will not develop.
