lay a fertile egg until she is three and
one-half years old. The nest Is a
round hole in the ground, which the
male scoops out with his feet At
first the female may not take to the
nest, but may lay her first eggs on
the ground, whereupon the male will
roll them into the nest Generally,
after the male has put three or four
eggs into the nest, the female will
lay there. In about 30 days she will
lay IL TO lG eggs, and will be ready
to commence incubation.
Incubation under domestlcatlon Is
carried on in two ways-by natural
and by artificial means. Some grow.
