Set up a box to use as a nest and use a 60w-75w incandescent globe to provide heat. (If you have a thermometer - about 100 degrees F is good.)
Roll the eggs each day using moist fingers (this provides the small amount of humidity required.) Chicken Eggs take approximately 21 days to hatch. By the end of the first week you will be able to candle the eggs and see the veins forming and even the embryo's eye!
Around the 18th day you may be able to hear "peeping" and pecking from inside the egg. Don't be tempted to "help" the bird - it may hatch too early and die.
If you don't have a globe or a lamp, you can do what I do - I pad out our Towel Heater with towels and form a "cradle" at the back - sitting the eggs between the towel heater and the wall. The temperature seems to be perfect for hatching eggs.

∙ 13y agoThe only way to hatch a chicken without an incubator is to do it naturally, by putting the egg under a sitting hen (one who is going to have chickens). You should put the egg under the hen at the time when she is just starting to sit.

∙ 15y agono because the egg has to be kept at 98 to 100 degrees and they have to be turned. You can hand turn them too if you want. The eggs also need humidity(water). I just got two brown eggs. I hope they hatch. Good luck! You should get an incubator though.

Will eggs hatch even without a heating pad Cause i can't find a incubator and my chicken keep on breaking the eggs and eating them . I would like to have some chicks but i dont know what to do?
Eggs will not hatch if they have not been incubated either by a hen or by an incubator. And it's not the chickens that are breaking and eating your eggs. It's snakes, rats, raccoons, opossums and other such animals. I suggest you strengthen your coups defenses or bye/make an incubator otherwise you will never have your eggs hatch out.
