The developing chick needs a higher humidity to replace moisture used during its development. As the chick grows it will eventually also need to move around inside the egg and if humidity is too low it will dry to the inside of the shell, therefore not being able to peep (crack open) the shell and escape.. Like all living things, water is essential and humid conditions supply what moisture the chick needs to develop.

What temp does an incubator need to be set on for chicken eggs?
It depends on the type of fowl you are trying to hatch. Chickens eggs should be incubated at 100 degrees Turkeys eggs should be incubated at 99 degrees Ducks eggs should be incubated at 100 degrees Geese eggs should be incubated at 99 degrees Guinea Fowl eggs should be incubated at 100 degrees
What if the chicken egg is fertile how long can it be that way and what temp do i store it at.?
Fertility lasts about a week, after that the odds are low that the egg will hatch. They should be stored at room temperature (NEVER refrigerated) with the small end pointing down.
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 is the temp for chickens and ducks in the incubators?
The ideal temperature for hatching chickens or ducks in an incubator is between 99.5F and 100.5F. The temperature is not the only consideration as the humidity must be right also. Eggs should be at a 55% humidity rate through to the 18th day and raised to better than 65% during the final days. Chickens take 21 days from set to hatch but ducks take a few days more. Average incubation of most duck breeds is between 25 to 35 days depending on the breed.
How long does it take for ducklings to hatch?
"incubated for 27-28 days to hatching with 50-60 days to fledging so 50-60 days i guess" At best, this is an ill formed answer, as it is not accurate. Duck eggs hatch depending on the species of duck. Mallard ducks can hatch as early as 25 days, they do not follow the "28" scenario. They could also take as long as 35 days. Everything depends on the species, the incubator temp and its humidity. The best bet is to candle your eggs at least weekly...carefully keep records of how the embryo is progressing (of course remove undeveloping or dead embryos) This is about the only method to gauge for sure when to stop turning the Mallard eggs. I hope this info aids someone.
If the chicken eggs were at room temp for a couple hours can it still hatch in an incubator if it is fertilized?
yes it can

How can humidity be checked in the home?
With a temp/rh probe barring that take a humidistat and turn dial when it clicks from closing circuit note the setting and that is humidity surrounding humidistat
How long does it take to hatch a pigeon egg?
The normal incubation period is 17 days regardless of outside temperature. It takes all-most two weeks or more, it depends.....if temp is adequate means 35-37 degree then it will hatch in almost two weeks otherwise it will take more time. In case of abandon eggs by their parents himself means that egg is dead otherwise u can also help them in hatch by maintaining the humidity and temperature.17 to 20 days

What happens to relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the air stays the same and temp increases?
The relative humidity will decrease.
How long does it take to roast a 13 pound chicken?
As a rule of thumb you should cook chicken for 20 mins for each pound plus an extra 20 mins, oven temp 190C.
