In order to hatch a dragon in A Song of Ice and Fire, the eggs must be
heated to an incredible heat
Vem sa det? Dragon-inkubatorer existerar inte i Planetos.
Kläckning av en drake är inte så enkelt.
Blood magic
Alla prestationer av Dragon Lords var tack vare Blood Magic. De brukade använda blodmagi för att kläcka drakar från Wyverns och säkert använde blodmagi för att binda Dragons till sig själva.
In Septon Barth's Dragons, Wyrms, and Wyverns, he speculated that
the bloodmages of Valyria used wyvern stock to create dragons.
Though the bloodmages were alleged to have experimented mightily with
their unnatural arts, this claim is considered far-fetched by most
maesters, among them Maester Vanyon's Against the Unnatural contains
certain proofs of dragons having existed in Westeros even in the
earliest of days, before Valyria rose to be a power.

"What feeds a dragon's fire?" Marwyn seated himself upon a stool.
"All Valyrian sorcery was rooted in blood or fire. The sorcerers
of the Freehold could see across mountains, seas, and deserts with one
of these glass candles. They could enter a man's dreams and give him
visions, and speak to one another half a world apart, seated before
their candles. Do you think that might be useful,
Slayer?"

Hur gjorde Daenerys det?
Den typ av blodmagi som visas där är enkel, du ger offer på något och du får något i gengäld.
"You'll have gold, horses, whatever you like."
"It is not a matter of gold or horses. This is bloodmagic, lady.
Only death may pay for life."

Äggen som Daenerys hade var mycket gamla. De hade förvandlats till stenar när de kom i sin egendom. Ödet av andra drakeägg skulle vara likartat sedan den sista levande draken dog i kung Aegon III regering för århundraden sedan.
Även Illyrio, som gav henne ägget, hade ingen aning om att de skulle kläcka.
"I know that he gave me my dragon eggs."
He snorted. "If he'd known they were like to hatch, he'd would have
sat on them himself."
That made her smile despite herself. "Oh, I have no doubt of that,
ser. I know Illyrio better than you think. I was a child when I left
his manse in Pentos to wed my sun-and-stars, but I was neither deaf
nor blind. And I am no child now."

Daenerys tänkte emellertid ut en väg. Hon räknade ut naturen av Mirri Maz Duurs magi och smart improviserad.
Hon gav offer av:
Khal Drogo
En häst. 1
Mirri Maz Duur själv
"You will not hear me scream," Mirri responded as the oil dripped from
her hair and soaked her clothing.
"I will," Dany said, "but it is not your screams I want, only your
life. I remember what you told me. Only death can pay for life."
Mirri Maz Duur opened her mouth, but made no reply. As she stepped
away, Dany saw that the contempt was gone from the maegi's flat black
eyes; in its place was something that might have been fear. Then there
was nothing to be done but watch the sun and look for the first
star.

För coup de grâce klättrade hon in i pjuren själv. Som ett resultat kom stenäggen till liv och drakarna kläckdes.
Detta var en enstaka magisk händelse. Bara tiden lyckades någonsin. GRRM rensade upp det .
George_RR_Martin: Granny, thanks for asking that. It gives me a chance
to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE!
The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the
flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that
molten gold.
För att inte nämna, kan Daenerys verkligen vara någon speciell. Som Maester Aemon trodde:
What fools we were, who thought ourselves so wise! The error crept in
from the translation. Dragons are neither male nor female, Barth saw
the truth of that, but now one and now the other, as changeable as
flame. The language misled us all for a thousand years. Daenerys is
the one, born amidst salt and smoke. The dragons prove it.

Historiska försök
Det betyder inte att det inte fanns några försök att återhämta drakar från stenägg tidigare. Kung Aegon III frågade mages och andra forskare från Essos att kläcka drakar från hans cache av ägg. Det misslyckades. Prince Aerion drack vildmarken och trodde att det skulle förvandla honom till en drake. Det misslyckades. Kung Aegon V försökte använda vildt att kläcka drakar, det misslyckades och House Targaryen torkades ut, spara en ensam gren av Jaehaerys II Targaryen.
The look Stannis gave her was dark. "Nine mages crossed the sea to
hatch Aegon the Third's cache of eggs. Baelor the Blessed prayed over
his for half a year. Aegon the Fourth built dragons of wood and iron.
Aerion Brightflame drank wildfire to transform himself. The mages
failed, King Baelor's prayers went unanswered, the wooden dragons
burned, and Prince Aerion died screaming."

There were dragons here two hundred years ago, Sam found himself
thinking, as he watched the cage making a slow descent. They would
just have flown to the top of the Wall. Queen Alysanne had visited
Castle Black on her dragon, and Jaehaerys, her king, had come after
her on his own. Could Silverwing have left an egg behind? Or had
Stannis found one egg on Dragonstone? Even if he has an egg, how can
he hope to quicken it? Baelor the Blessed had prayed over his eggs,
and other Targaryens had sought to hatch theirs with sorcery. All they
got for it was farce and tragedy.

Och även:
What became of the dream of dragons was a grievous tragedy born in a
moment of joy. In the fateful year 259 AC, the king summoned many of
those closest to him to Summerhall, his favorite castle, there to
celebrate the impending birth of his first great-grandchild, a boy
later named Rhaegar, to his grandson Aerys and granddaughter Rhaella,
the children of Prince Jaehaerys.
It is unfortunate that the tragedy that transpired at Summerhall left
very few witnesses alive, and those who survived would not speak of
it. A tantalizing page of Gyldayn's history—surely one of the very
last written before his own death—hints at much, but the ink that was
spilled over it in some mishap blotted out too much.
...the blood of the dragon gathered in one... ...seven eggs, to honor the seven gods, though the king's own septon had warned...
...pyromancers... ...wild fire... ...flames grew out of
control...towering...burned so hot that... ...died, but for the valor
of the Lord Comman...

Slutsats
Det finns ingen indikation om andra personer som har innehav av drakeägg någonsin försökt kläcka dem. De skulle ha trott det meningslöst med tanke på att ägg var döda stenar. De användes som värdefulla varor, inte som boskap. Så slutsatsen:
Blod magi krävs för att kläcka drakar.
Befintliga ägg i nuvarande tidslinje är i huvudsak stenar.
Daenerys feat var en enstaka magisk händelse, ett mirakel.
