If you have obtained fertilized eggs, they can be sucessfully incubated, but the chicks MUST be kept warm after hatching. Recommended temperature after hatching is 95-99 degrees F the first week and decrease by 5 degrees each week.

How many days does it take for baby chicks to hatch in the incubater?
Well, baby chicks are in the incubator to be warm. I once watched them hatch out of it. They take exactly 21 days to hatch. You're welcome.
How long do chicks stay in a incubator?
They should be left in the incubator until they are dry,fluffy and active. Do not rush to remove them as opening the incubator will effect the un-hatched and still hatching eggs. This usually takes up to 36 hours and the first hatch chicks will survive quite well without food or water since the humidity in the incubator keeps them hydrated. After 36 hours all unhatched eggs should be candled to verify viability, and the hatched chicks moved to a brooder box.
Why do you need an incubator to hatch eggs?
It's to show how the temperature is the same as the chicken.
Will eggs hatch even without a heating pad Cause i can't find a incubator and my chicken keep on breaking the eggs and eating them . I would like to have some chicks but i dont know what to do?
Eggs will not hatch if they have not been incubated either by a hen or by an incubator. And it's not the chickens that are breaking and eating your eggs. It's snakes, rats, raccoons, opossums and other such animals. I suggest you strengthen your coups defenses or bye/make an incubator otherwise you will never have your eggs hatch out.

Do you have to have a incubator to have chicks?
No. A broody hen will hatch a brood of chicks the way nature intended. Incubators or a brood hen are the only two ways to get chicks, egg won't hatch into chicks without the proper conditions of heat and humidity for 21 days.

Can you leave a chick in an incubator with unhatched eggs even if the eggs are getting kicked around can the new chick stay there he kicked them all around will thst kill em?
The chicks should all stay in the incubator until the hatch is complete and the chicks are fluffy and dry. They should all be moved to the brooder box at the same time. The chicks will roll the peeping eggs and that is ok. Sometimes the movement of the completed chicks will get the emerging chicks to begin and that is a good thing. Do not be hasty in removing the newly hatched chicks from the incubator, they can and should remain in there for up to 24 hrs.
How many chicks will survive I am doing a science experiment where i will hatch 12 chicks If I buy all the right supplies and care for them well how many can I expect to survive?
There would be no way to predict the outcome of this experiment. Too many factors can influence the outcome. Breed often determines hatch rate. Temperature and humidity of incubator. (number of times incubator is opened). Age of viable eggs before incubation. All this will effect the hatch rate.
How long does it take a chicken to lay a egg and it hatch without a incubator?
