Caring for Eggs and Chicks
Presented by Jordan Hyde
Part of the instructions we received with the eggs
The incubator temperature had to be 99.5 degrees
We purchased 24 fertilized eggs and marked them
WITH AN "X" ON ONE SIDE AND AN "O" ON THE OTHER
The eggs had to be turned over twice a day
this is called "candling"
It is used to study the development of the embryo inside the egg
The eggs began hatching on the 21st day
This process is called "pipping"
This is the first chick to hatch
The babies are called "hatchlings"
The poor chick at the bottom died during hatching
