Raising Chickens With The Help Of Incubator

Farmer brown puts the eggs into a incubator. Inside the incubator the eggs are kept warm. A week goes by everyday the eggs are turned. The farmer now takes an egg to see weather a chick is beginning to form in it. Inside the weak old egg at the top we see a black speck which is the little chick's eye and now nearly three weeks after this egg was put into this incubator the tiny chick is almost ready to come out.
The chick begins pecking a hole through the shell with it's sharp beak. Now the shell is well broken and the baby chick rests. The shell is almost ready to break apart. Another rest before breaking through. See the beak that chick uses in pecking the way out. Nearly out at last but still very weak. It's hard work getting all the way out. Some of these other chicks are been out of their shells for a while and they ran about in the incubator drawn. This chick took all day to peck it's way out of the shell. A day more in the warming incubator for the chicks to dry out and farmer brown is ready to take them across to the bruter house.
