How long does it take a Killdeer egg to hatch?

Answer 1

Nests are lines with grass, woodchips and pebbles. The male scratches in the dirt to form a depression where the nest will be placed. After the nest is complete, the female lays a batch of four eggs. They are the same shape as a chicken's egg but much smaller. The eggs are light beige and spotted with brown or black. The female arranges the eggs in a circle. The rounded end always points outward. Because of the mottled color, the eggs are well camouflaged. Either the male or female is always at the nest protecting the eggs. Fluctuations of extreme heat or cold will damage the eggs and they will not hatch. Incubation is 3 to 4 weeks. The young work for 18 to 36 hours to escape the confines of the shell once they are fully formed. The shell is then removed from the nesting area by the adult birds. There is some facts about the nests too. info from www.essortment.com/all/birdskilldeer_rnzj.htm www.essortment.com/all/birdskilldeer_rnzj.htm you're welcom From unknown
