What else can I help you with?
Can a chicken tell if their egg is going to hatch or not?
No. Only the fertilized eggs hatch. Eggs bought at the grocery store are not fertile and will never hatch. Even eggs that have been fertilized on the farm will only hatch if conditions are perfect and either set under a broody hen or artificially incubated. 21 days at 100.5 degrees F with a humidity of 50% or better are the ideal conditions for hatching.
What is brooding chickens?
A broody hen is the term used when a hen is ready to sit on and hatch eggs, or is already sitting on eggs or has chicks. Basically, a hen in a 'mothering mood'. You can tell she's broody by the deep clucks she makes, her fluffing up her feathers and possibly squawking when anyone (including the rooster) comes near, desire to sit on eggs, and of course, if she already has chicks.
Why is your hen staying in her box all the time?
She is brooding which means she is going to try to hatch eggs into chicks. Some of the other hens will lay eggs near her and she will roll those eggs under herself. If you have a rooster in the flock and want some chicks you should let her stay where she is but if your flock has no rooster then take the eggs away from her.
How you know when your hen is ready to sit over the eggs?
a broody hen that never laid eggs? is the hen there all the time? is she perhaps eggbound? does she eat and drink? if eggbound she might be dying .. please tell me moreAnswerShe may be brooding. If you wish to hatch some fertile eggs, put them under her. If you want to break her from this cycle, pen her separate without a nest box. Another ThoughtShe might just be sleeping Another thought:http://www.perdue.comfilesEasy%20Sunder%20Dinner%20Roast%20Chicken.jpgWhat I did when this happenedI gave my bantam 5 fertilized eggs to sit on for 21 days. She is so happy now.
Can you still hatch a robin without an incubator?
No. Chicken eggs not only require a very specific heat that is constant, but they also require humidity. The light bulb would make the air about the egg dry. Plus, it's unlikely that the egg would hatch being exposed to more foreign bacteria.
What temperature does it have to be under a hen before the eggs will hatch?
The temperature under a broody hen is normally about 100.5 degrees F with a humidity of approximately 55%.
If i gave my broody chicken a set of duck eggs to sit on what would happen?
She would happily hatch them out! I know of someone who hatched out ducks under a broody hen. They hatched out healthy but the mother hen was just a little surprised when her 'chicks' began to swim! :-)
Is how do keep baby duck eggs without an incubator?

Will chickens hatch quail eggs?

What if a female duck is sitting on rocks and thinks their her eggs?
It used to be a common practice to put stones under hens and ducks to encourage them to go broody. It will also keep them broody longer, and stones are good temporary substitute if you want to inspect a fertile egg away from the nest. Of course they cannot hatch stone eggs no matter how long the poor duck sits on them. In my experience, they do eventually get tired of the whole thing and will leave the nest after abut 45 days of broodiness (normal time from brood to hatch is 28 days in ducks). The unfortunate part is that once the duck is satisfied with the number of "eggs" under her, she will not lay eggs during the broody state, so there's no fresh eggs for breakfast and desserts.
If you have put 6 fertilized eggs under your broody hen and she sat on them fine for the first night first day second night then she got off the eggs to return in 8 hours will they still hatch?
I doubt it. Not if she left for 8 hours.
How do you hatch Japanese quail eggs without an incubator?
Use a broody bantam chicken to sit on them. Actually, peafowl farmers often use a broody hen to sit on peafowl eggs for the first seven days, then put them in an incubator for the remaining 21 days. This is done because there is something about the early development of the embryo that works better under a bird.
Will the body temp of a hen be enough to successfully hatch duck eggs?
Oh, yes. I have successfully hatched many ducks under broody hens for the past 35 years. In fact, when using an artificial incubator, the temperature for the chicken and duck eggs should be set at a steady 100F.
Can a worm have babies?
yes. they hatch under the dirt(they hatch in eggs.).
You have 2 chicks 1 dont look like its going to make it the other one does they are 2 days old can you put the little chick under a broody hen or should we wait for the little one to be stronger?
Never put any chicks under a broody! She will only kill them! She would know the chick isn't hers because otherwise she would've felt it hatch and heard it cheeping. She would instinctly kill the chick because she'd think it would deplete the food supply for her own. I think you should hand-raise your chicks with a brooder.
Where chickens are hatch?
Chickens are hatched in an artificial incubator. This is a device that mimics the conditions found under a brood hen. Temperatures of 100.5 F and humidity of +60%. Chicken need 21 days of these conditions to develop inside the egg. Of course, chickens are still hatched the old fashioned way, under a broody hen but only on small farms and breeder sites.
