Understanding the Difference Between Cold and Hot Ostrich Eggs for Hatching

Updated: May 23

Are you interested in hatching your own ostrich chicks? Understanding the differences between cold and hot ostrich eggs is crucial for a successful hatch.




A cold ostrich egg refers to an egg that does not yet have a live chick inside. These eggs must be incubated and brooded in order to hatch successfully. If you purchase a cold ostrich egg, it is important to note that you will need to provide your own brooder to hatch the egg. This means ensuring that the egg is kept at the proper temperature and humidity level and turned regularly until it hatches.


On the other hand, a hot ostrich egg is an egg that has been incubated for at least 38 days and has a live bird inside. If you purchase a hot ostrich egg, we guarantee that it will hatch as long as you provide your own brooder within 24 hours of receiving the egg. This means that you will need to provide a warm and humid environment for the chick to hatch and grow, as well as proper nutrition and care.


Whether you choose to purchase a cold or hot ostrich egg, it's important to have the proper equipment and knowledge to ensure a successful hatch.
