    Whether the male or female spends more time sitting on the eggs depends on the species of bird. In some species, the males and females share the duty equally. For example, only female chickens sit on the eggs, emus and rhea males do all of the egg sitting, and ostrich males sit on the eggs during the night while female ostriches do this during the day.
