Chicks break out of eggs, so many people mistakenly believe that the eggs laid by hens are their "babies", and put the eggs in the right environment in anticipation of the chicks hatching.

In fact, hens can lay eggs with or without the help of roosters, only that the eggs laid by the former can hatch chicks while the eggs laid by the latter cannot hatch chicks. Eggs sold in supermarkets basically cannot hatch chicks.

It generally takes 21 days for an egg to hatch into a chick. During the incubation of the eggs, if the temperature is not up to par, the incubation time will be a little longer. In addition, during the incubation period, a certain amount of humidity must be ensured.

Before laying the eggs the hen will find a nest, usually a darker place. Once she has found a nest, she will start to lay her eggs. After laying the eggs, she will cluck for five minutes before she stops.

When incubating eggs, hens will lie on their backs for a day or even two or three days without eating. There are usually 5-9 chicks in a clutch.
