Laying eggs on the ground can lead to fewer partridge chicks due to increased predation risks and environmental factors. Ground-nesting birds are more vulnerable to predators, such as mammals and Birds of Prey, which can easily access the eggs and chicks. Additionally, eggs laid on the ground may be more susceptible to adverse weather conditions and habitat disturbances, further decreasing the likelihood of successful hatching and chick survival.
They could be stepped on
Maybe because the eggs are the same colour as the ground and then the bird connot see it?
A hen that is brooding is preparing to sit on a clutch of eggs to begin the incubation.A brood of chicks is the result of the hatch.A brooder is a heated box that houses the newly hatched chicks from an artificial incubator.
Extrusive igneous rock is the result of above ground crystallization.

In the book "Flipped" by Wendelin Van Draanen, Juli's chickens' eggs do not hatch into chicks because they are not fertilized. Juli's father raises chickens primarily for their eggs, not for breeding, so the eggs laid are simply unfertilized. As a result, without a rooster to fertilize the eggs, they cannot develop into chicks.
The Persian War went on for 50 years, with dozens of ground battles. Which one?
Sinkhole
Straight run when ordering chicks means they are not sexed prior to shipping. This method of ordering chicks makes it slightly easier for the hatchery, a bit less expensive for you and will result in a mixed bag of male/female birds. Most hatcheries will only guarantee a fifty percent mix.
Ground ozone is a health risk. It causes irritation and breathing problems.
Cool air rushes in to replace the rising warm air.
Streams and rivers are the result of rain falling to the ground. The water runs downhill and flows towards the sea.
