So How did the Targaryens and The Familes of Old Valyria Hatch Eggs of Dragons?

[Black Dragons]

Now think about how Dani got hers eggs hatch. This 40 old woman healer, who never meant to release the dragons and who knew blood magic, did this and the Dragons have been dead for 150 years. Ageon III got about 10 Magi to help cast the spell but fail. Some people have said that the reasons that Dani's eggs hatch because it the right time the Cold Ones are raising and the events were just right for eggs to hatch. Others have said that Dani kill three people for 3 dragons. If that all it will take to kill people Targaryens could have million dragons by now. some one who is very smart post to me the reasons the dragons died because of wars and greed. Also the Maesters did not like magic and knew the dragons had connection to it. (Targaryens had too much power with the dragons) so they poison them now, if the dragons are poison so are their eggs (that inside of them) this person said that eggs were free of poison that was given to Dani because found in Essos. (or in the east somewhere) what is your reasons? please posts them.

The eggs hatched the natural way. Dragons were around before humans domesticated them.

If that is true? why did NOT the last dragon sit on them to hatch, the dragon lay about 5 eggs, but they never hatch noone knows what happen to those last eggs.

I nowhere described the eggs as being sat on, that is your (incorrect) assumption. The dragon that laid them was frail and sickly, and I don't hear of a mate. Who knows what the maesters were doing if they were working to eliminate dragons? They could have poisoned her resulting in infertile eggs.

but you said the natural way so I am thinking that the dragons sat on them to hatch.

[Buried Treasure]

The natural way is that the eggs were always viable and the fetuses inside never died. Some animals incubate their eggs, others do not.

[A Man Has Said]

Before The Doom Valyria was ringed by volcanic mountains honeycombed with caves and mines.

The eggs may have incubated naturally there, with the proper environment of lots of heat and maybe other factors like high sulfur gas concentration in the air.
I'm not certain, but it seems to me that the dragons that the Targaryens conquered Westeros with were born in Valyria. If not, there's a possibility that they came from caves on Dragonstone that provide the same or similar conditions. We know that Dragonstone is a source of obsidian, which is a volcanic rock.

We're not sure exactly how it happened, but reading TPATQ will give you some ideas. If you haven't already read it that is.

The eggs hatched when they were taken from the dragons and carried by the Targaryen children.

I think the relation between dragons and magic are both very interesting and vital to the series' conclusion. Is magic strengthening because there are once again dragons in the world, or did the Danaerys's eggs hatch because magic is becoming stronger? Which is the cause and which is the effect?

As for the topic, I suppose warmth is required to hatch them, though perhaps the eggs doesn't have to be doused in fire. I doubt there is any kind of "killing requirement". But the magical state of the world probably needs to be right.

According to the wiki Balerion was born in Valyria but Meraxes and Vhagar were hatched on Dragonstone. Don't know the source though.

One of the first readings about the Conquest. Source

Balerion was one of the 5 dragons the Targaryen brought with them when they fled the Doom (and was thus born in Valyria). Of those 5 dragons, four died, leaving only Balerion. Meraxes and Vhagar were born after the Targaryens had fled, but before the Conquest (to be exact, Vhagar was born in 51BC)

To the OP, dragons don't seem to be sitting on their eggs. Dragon eggs were placed in the cradles of Targaryen children, and hatched there. No sitting on the eggs involved ;)

Life must pay with life .Young dragons being born from the death throws of dying dragons or slaves (Baratheons)or Mirri Maz Duur .
