Incubation begins before the last egg is laid. This is because incubation is the process of keeping the eggs warm in order to facilitate the development of the embryos inside. If incubation started after the last egg is laid, the earlier-laid eggs would be left unattended and their development would be compromised. Therefore, it is necessary for incubation to begin before the last egg is laid to ensure that all eggs receive the necessary warmth and care for successful development.Rate this question:
