I imagine that the developing bird wouldn't be able to get enough oxygen if its egg was underwater, and the bubble of air in the egg that lets the chick breath while it is trying to hatch wouldn't form. Generally to have any hope of hatching an egg you need very specific conditions (which would depend on the species of bird) and that I know of there are no birds that incubate their eggs underwater.

I once managed to get an emu egg from my local deli (I live in Australia) if you want one that will actually hatch you would need to get it straight from the farm, by the time they reach the shops the eggs have usually been cooled too much for the baby to survive (assuming that the eggs are even fertile). Try and find out if there are any emu or ostrich farms near you, they may be able to help you out with getting a fertile egg (and they will also know how to hatch it and care for the chick), but beware, ostriches and emus get BIG, they need a lot of space, and they can be dangerous.

relies upon on what form of eggs you acquire to hatch you will desire to keep sufficient moisture interior the incubator in any respect circumstances. a pair of small paper cups or a pie pan will do remarkable on your water furnish. in the experience that your speaking approximately chick eggs.purely place them aside you will desire to keep sufficient moisture interior the incubator in any respect circumstances. a pair of small paper cups or a pie pan will do remarkable on your water furnish. Eggs that are actually not became frequently do not hatch! Turning three times an afternoon seems to be sufficient for the chicken. Turning is mandatory interior the early stages. The final 3 days of incubation whilst the poultry is on the threshold of hatch it is not counseled. If not became to a clean place often for the period of the early stages, the springing up embryo touches the shell membrane and sticks to it inflicting ordinary boost. Turning the egg aids those strikes interior the egg. The turning can confirm if the chick will emerge effectively at hatching time. A clean egg takes up the temperature of its surrounding, yet as progression proceeds the embryo generates its very own physique warmth. by using hatching time, it has an inner temperature. chicken eggs would desire to incubate at ninety 9.5 stages, quail and duck at ninety 9 stages.

The secret is to maintain a steady temperature. That is why it is possible to use the heat of a light bulb to hatch eggs. However the water may diffuse into the egg and spoil it.???
