Snowy owls may be active to some extent at both day, from dawn to dusk, and night. [6] Snowy owls have been seen to be active even during the very brief winter daytime in the northern winter. [7] During the Arctic summer, snowy owls may tend to peak in activity during the twilight that is the darkest time available given the lack of full nightfall.
The eggs are laid directly to bottom of nesting surface in roughly 2 day intervals. [5] Females alone incubate usually beginning with the first egg, and is fed by her mate throughout. [5] In 108 female Ural owls from Finland the start of incubation varied individually, with synchronous hatching shown to be disadvantageous to overall productivity.
Young begin to call in about 24 hours before they hatch. [2] [11] Asynchronous hatching occurs but is slightly less pronounced perhaps than long-eared and barn owls, rarely ranging up to 2–3 days apart. [1] The female broods the owlets closely until 10–15 days, rarely ceasing as early as 7 days. [2]

Egg incubation is done under favorable environmental conditions, possibly by brooding and hatching the egg. Multiple and various factors are vital to the incubation of various species of animal. In many species of reptile for example, no fixed temperature is necessary, but the actual temperature determines the sex ratio of the offspring .
