The Importance of Periods in Chickens

Although chickens do not menstruate and thus their eggs are not chicken periods as is sometimes asserted, the cycle of creating and passing much larger eggs relative to their body size and weight is arguably even more physically tasking. The incubation period for the chickens eggs is 20 to 21 days and increases up to 30 days for other poultry. After sitting for some days, a broody hen can be given some newly hatched chicks and if they are accepted, the original eggs can be removed.
