The first step is to buy or borrow an incubator.It is a special machine to keep eggs warm and help the linle baby birds grow inside.If the incubator is not new,you must clean it carefully.What's more,you need to tum eggs several times every day to hatch.For this reason,many incubators have turning parts to do the work for people.If your incubator does not have this part,you need to tum the eggs with your hands. Next,you need to get good eggs for hatching.Take a close look at each egg before putting it into the incubator.

Washing takes away this coat and lets germs go through the egg shell easily. Eggs can hatch successfully only with right temperature,humidity (and fresh air.Chicken eggs take 21 days to hatch at 37.8C with a humidity of 86%Turkey eggs take 28 days at 37.2C with a humidity of 84%.Duck eggs also take 28 days,at 37.8C with a humidity of 85%.Goose eggs need almost 31 days at 37.2C.and the humidity should stay at 87%.You need to tum the eggs during most of the hatching time,but stop turing them about three days before the baby birds come out. Finally,new baby birds start to come out.The little bird uses its sharp mouth to break the egg shell.This often takes many hours.When the baby bird comes out of the shell,its body is wet.It cleans the body with its mouth. After that,it needs clean water and special bird food. Which of the eggs in this picture is the best for hatching? )63.What do chicken eggs and duck eggs have in common during hatching?
