2Chickens, turkeys, geese, and ducks on the farm
belong to a special group called poultry. To
reproduce the female lays an egg. After laying
several eggs she will sit on the eggs keeping
them very warm. Not all poultry eggs take the
same amount of time to hatch. Chicken eggs take
21 days to hatch. Turkey, goose, and duck eggs
take 28 days to hatch. Some goose eggs may take
up to 32 days to hatch. That means a mother goose
must sit on the eggs a whole month!
