Eaglepedia Revisited:

January 10, 2007

Most female birds and some males, will develop a brood patch during the breeding season. A change in hormone levels at nesting season will cause down feathers on their stomach area (and some contour feathers) to come loose and in some cases, fall out. In some species, they must be pulled out-ducks pull them out and line their nest. Gulls and shorebirds sometimes have 3 brood patches! After the feathers are out, the tissues in the stomach area swells to hold more water and the blood vessels in the area expand, making the skin almost as hot as the body's interior. When a parent is ready to incubate the eggs, the skin muscles open the brood patch, the parent will sit down and wiggle its body a bit, and the sensitive patch of skin feels for the eggs so that the parent can settle where the skin makes the best contact with the eggs.

<a href='http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/BroodPatch.html' target='_blank'>http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/BroodPatch.html</a>

AND

Brood: (v.) to sit upon eggs
(n.) the young hatched in a nest

incubate: to sit on eggs keeping them warm until they hatch

brood patch: a bare spot on their tummy where they can press their hot skin directly against the eggs or chicks to keep them warm

(Additional Tidbit from Ostrich2)

QUOTE (ostrich2 @ Feb 21 2007, 09:37 PM)
I just looked at one of my references, Understanding The Bird of Prey, and it says this:

"Once the egg has been laid, it can remain unincubated for several days and yet still hatch. About 86 percent of fertile eggs should hatch under optimum conditions and storage for three or four days has little noticeable effect. After about a week, hatchability falls rapidly and after two weeks few will survive. Before incubation proper starts, the parents turn the eggs periodically and brood them lightly at night to prevent them freezing"[/b]
