Normally the egg is incubated outside the body. However, in one recorded case, the egg incubation occurred entirely within a chicken.

In these birds, males and females contact their cloacas together, typically briefly, and transfer sperm to the female. However, water fowls such as ducks and geese have penises and are able to use them for internal fertilization.
