i just read that the gestation period for barn swallows is 60 days. A pair made a nest on our boat with 4 eggs in it so we were hoping it would be a very short time because we feel guilty using the boat even though it is 94 degrees outside!
Barn swallow eggs typically hatch in about 14-16 days after they are laid. The incubation period is primarily carried out by the female barn swallow.
The gestation period varies from 55-63 days. She can have up to 7 eggs usually 2 to 3 days apart.
The gestation period for parrots is 21 - 28 days.
Probably because they have no gestation period. Although their eggs have an incubation period.
The gestation period for turtle eggs is typically around 45 to 90 days, depending on the species of turtle.
The gestation period is 19-21 days from the time the tiels start sitting on the eggs.
a fish lays eggs so it doesn't have a gestation period
No, animals that lay eggs do not have a gestation period. Instead, the embryo develops inside the egg until it is ready to hatch. Gestation typically refers to the time a mammal carries a developing fetus inside its body before giving birth.
The barn swallow lays eggs once per year. They lay between 2 an 7 eggs at once. The average is 4 or 5 offspring per year.
24 to 72 hours :)
There are many fish and amphibians for which the female lays soft-shelled unfertilized eggs, which the male then fertilizes. Because the fertilized eggs were never inside the female's body, one might say that there was no gestation period. However, all animals that have internal fertilization have some length of gestation period. For most animals, the gestation period is much shorter than the time between laying the eggs and the eggs hatching: for example, a chicken egg has a gestation period of one day, but the eggs do not hatch until 24 days after being laid. Monotreme mammals (platypuses and echidnas) have longer gestation periods and proportionally shorter distances between the laying of the eggs and the eggs hatching.
The gestation period for mockingbird eggs is typically around 12-14 days. During this time, the parent birds will take turns incubating the eggs until they hatch.
