In the latter, the eggs develop in utero for about 28 days, with only about 10 days of external incubation (in contrast to a chicken egg, which spends about one day in tract and 21 days externally). [11] After laying her eggs, the female curls around them. The incubation period is divided into three phases.
Brood patch of a sand martin. A brood patch, also known as an incubation patch, [1] is a patch of featherless skin on the underside of birds during the nesting season.Feathers act as inherent insulators and prevent efficient incubation, to which brood patches are the solution.
A modern egg incubator. An incubator is a device simulating avian incubation by keeping eggs warm at a particular temperature range and in the correct humidity with a turning mechanism to hatch them. The common names of the incubator in other terms include breeding / hatching machines or hatchers, setters, and egg breeding / equipment. [1]
Broodiness is the action or behavioral tendency to sit on a clutch of eggs to incubate them, often requiring the non-expression of many other behaviors including feeding and drinking. [1] Being broody has been defined as "Being in a state of readiness to brood eggs that is characterized by cessation of laying and by marked changes in behavior ...
In the very early embryo, the primitive streak is the only visible landmark, and its shape and size are used to stage HH1-6 embryos. The nervous system is formed by a process of neurulation. Stages 5–8 may be defined by the formation of a head fold, the neural folds, and their fusion to form the neural tube. The expansion of the anterior ...

The earliest incubators were invented thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt and China, where they were used to keep chicken eggs warm. [1] Use of incubators revolutionized food production, as it allowed chicks to hatch from eggs without requiring that a hen sit on them, thus freeing the hens to lay more eggs in a shorter period of time.
