@alizah7861 I will definitely do a bigger and better version of this one if I ever get a chance to film them hatching again =) Thanks for stopping by!
First it learns to stand up and walk around... then after it dries and fluffs-up its downy feathers, it starts pecking at things and learning to eat... typical chicken type stuff :-) Thanks for checking it out!
@jme915 Nope... this bird went home with one of the teachers, and became a pet :-) Last I heard it was still happily clucking around as a healthy adult bird! CHeers =)
can an egg still be hatched if its cold? I was at my friend's house earlier and their friends own chickens.but they eat the eggs so before they put the eggs in the freezer they gave one to me. but when my mom picked me up it fells and broke. so they gave me one of out of the freezer. can it still be hatched?
I have heard that freshly-laid eggs can withstand cold temperatures for a while, and chilling them is sometimes used as a method to delay the start of their development (for whatever reason). However, they used refrigeration and so far as I know they weren't frozen. It would be interesting to know if the egg you got (if it was fertile in the first place) will develop and hatch... I'd say give it a try and see what happens! =)
I got eggs for my incuberator and I looked at them this morning and one of them had a little piece of the egg missing and its only been a week, Is that good or Bad?
I've never tried to incubate an egg with a chipped shell, although I think it's possible, so long as the membrane inside is not damaged. Give it a try and see :-)
There is some info on the incubator manufacturer in the vid description, but tey are REALLY expensive and you'd never be able to get it shipped to you in time. You can probably incubate the eggs by hand/manually with a box and lightbulb. Do a google search for info on hatching bird eggs... ... and good luck with them! =)
Hey bro what are you cooking today? Oh hahaha chick. Damn where you get that chick from ? Hahaha from the egg lol. Oh that cool bro. Don't worry chick I will free you.
It's actually a very humanitarian question, and one that many people ask after seeing how hard the little bird has to struggle to get out of that shell :-) As much as we are compelled to help them, it's not considered a good idea to do so. As the thinking goes, Nature has a way all worked out for them, and interfering with the process can do more harm than good, in ways me may not know until later..
You mean into the eggshell? ...Dunno - must be some kind of magic! XD Getting them in the incubator is an easier trick though - the clear plastic lid comes off :-)
Hey, I have the same incubator, and I have some orphaned baby chick eggs, and I really need to know what temperature I need to keep them at D: I have them at 94.2 right now... Do i need to go higher, becouse they still seem cold.
I think that's too low - they should be at about 99F - 104F. Check out the 2nd link in the vid description - there is some great info there... Good luck! :-)
Some would say it's instinct, a process which is pre-programmed in the animal's neurons as it grows in from an embryo, the result eons genetic replication and refinement. I personally think they just get bored and start pecking to see what happens! XD Thanks for stopping by! =)
wow..... the chick struggled a lot to get out of it's shell...I wonder if someone helped him hatch as in get it out, will it harm the chick's health due to the sudden change of atmosphere, or even cause death?
Seems like they always take forever to get out of the shell! I've heard that it's not a good idead to help them as it can potentially do more damage than good - sometimes in ways we may not even know; such as a sick or weakened bird for no apparent reason. Best to let nature take its course :-)
its weird when you think a living animal comes out of that... i cant believe such a beautiful animal is kept in such shite sonditions on a farm- its disgusting
Yes indeed - life in general is pretty amazing when you really get down to the nuts and bolts of it. :-)
No doubt, conditions are pretty poor for most commercially-raised food animals. However, there are places that practice "free range" farming, although products from such places are much harder to find AND are much more expensive. Too bad city people can't raise/grow more of their own food - that would definitely lower the need for mass commercial farming...
@jcmegabyte yep I have twelve chicknes though we didn't see them hatch we bought them when they were a few weeks old they are red hens and are getting bigger.
I should have filmed some more of this little guy later - they're so much nicer-looking after they've dried out and fluffed up a bit! Thanks for stopping by :-)
Funny how they always seem to come out when you're not looking! I have the same problem with the insects I raise for documentaries XD Thanks for watching! :-)
No kidding! You know the urge to help them is pretty strong, too - but since you're not supposed to, we're all thinking to ourselves "We'd love to help you out little guy but the book says nada!".
This probably would seem pretty weird to anyone who lives in the city and has only seen eggs in the supermarket - maybe even a little traumatic to watch a bird emerge instead of the 'ol white and yolk! XD
Amazing, isn't it? I guess some people are just mean, or maybe they have nothing better to do than stir-up some trouble! XD One good thing is that they make the rest of look better! :-)
Pretty strange, isnt it? The egg shell and membrane is actually gas permeable, and the embryo breathes right through it the entire time via direct gas exchange through the blood rather than breathing through the lungs. That's why it's important to keep the eggs from getting wet as a film of water on the shell's exterior can actually drown the embryo inside. Fascinating info online if you Google "chicken eggshell gas permeable" :-)
Besides being raised for meat, people frequently keep chickens for the eggs. Both roosters and hens are needed to promote infertile egg-laying and of course both genders are needed to continue the flock when the roosters are allowed to mate. Some people keep them soley as pets too. I'm not sure how long a chicken normally lives, but the one shown in this vid is still alive and well, and being kept as a family pet by one of the students :-)
The newer stuff is more electronic, ambient... some bordering on melodic trance and symphonic. Still mellow stuff though, not like pop or rock genres. The soundtracks of "Stargazer 3", "Stitching the Sky HD ver" and "Rise of the Purple Hairstreaks" are some examples. Still, I'm just an amateur musician, and that works out well since as a YT partner I have to use all original material in my vids.
You'll be happy to know that *this* bird went home with one of the students, and is still happily living her life a pet. No foxes, no Colonel Sanders - just a lot of peckin' and cluckin' :-)
i remember when i used to have chickens, every spring we would watch the chicks hatch. untill 4 years ago the D.E.C. released Fishers (it is like a large weasul) in our area and they would dig under the fence and kill 3 or 4 chickens every time for the next 4 days. :(
Members of the weasel family are indeed vorcious predators - and they LOVE eating birds! Sometimes you can prevent them from getting into the cage by placing chicken wire all over the floor/ground, and securing it to the walls around the perimeter. Takes a LOT of effort to keep them out!
The struggle is necessary. It kickstarts it's internal combustion! Also nature didn't fly out the window with the incubator. In nature only a fraction of a percent of the eggs hatch, then only a fraction of the chicks survive. Has to do with a food chain? This is why I lay my eggs by the thousands! I'm wise like frog.
In emergencies, where they may die anyways, it's ok. And varto... if you mean for the snake or lizard to not eat them in the end because they bonded, THAT would be fun, but if they bonded and then ate the chick... idk if fun is the right word
I'm going to have to disagree a little. Although you aren't supposed to help them, in an emergency I help mine. It takes skill and a steady hand or it will kill them though. Definitely not for a beginner.
In nature only a fraction of a percentage of the eggs last long enough to produce chicks, then only a small number of chicks survive to adulthood. Something to do with a food chain. That's why I lay my eggs by the thousands! I'm wise like a frog!
yeah it would my ister actually did a project on this shes only 12 and it was would the sound of a radio speed up the birth rate process rather than with no sound and 1 out of 5 eggs hatched with no sound 4 out of 5 eggs hatched with sound. the 1 egg that hatched with no sound actually has a problem with his legs so next time u have eggs trying doing that seriesly.
Do you go on BYC? This is actually the first time i have had success with my LG.. i usually use a very old incubator for hatching. I am kinda conserned about the one that is zipping though,
I'm not on many other sites - I pretty much hang out here.
Sometimes the old, reliable incubators are the best - especially if you are getting good results on a regular basis then you know you've got a good one, and good methods! I wouldn't worry about the egg that's ahead of the others. It's the slower ones that you have to worry about - they are usually weaker and less likely to survive. :-)
It should take 21 days but within the range 20-23 is more likely, depending on conditions. There's a link in the vid details box to some great info.. :-)
These were just generic ranch chickens from a school project... probably not any specific breed - just a mix of whatever was clucking around the barn yard! :-)
You don't necessarily have to buy one, but the eggs DO have to be kept at the proper temperature and humidity. Store-bought incubators are the easiest way to do this, but it's also possible to make your own with a box and lightbulb. There's some good info at the link in the vid details box. =)
My guess is that you could get away with it, most of the time. However, I suspect that the earlier-on in the process you interfere, the more likely it is that something will happen (or not happen) to mess them up.
They may need to go through all that effort (and time) to jump-start some other bodily processes... hard to tell with nature - they've been doing it on their own for a really long time :-)
You can't help them out too much. While they're hatching, they're absorbing the last of their yolk and also draining the blood from the network of blood vessels that lines the inside of the egg while they grow inside. Helping out before those two things happen can cause the chick to bleed to death. Once they start kicking hard enough to crack the egg like this, though, it's usually okay to help a little.

JDA0429 1 year ago
yeah it would my ister actually did a project on this shes only 12 and it was would the sound of a radio speed up the birth rate process rather than with no sound and 1 out of 5 eggs hatched with no sound 4 out of 5 eggs hatched with sound. the 1 egg that hatched with no sound actually has a problem with his legs so next time u have eggs trying doing that seriesly.

Interesting experiment.. thanks for posting :-)

Hard to tell... The mostly likely thing would have been injury to the bird. I've always heard it's best to let nature take its course. :-)

Do you go on BYC? This is actually the first time i have had success with my LG.. i usually use a very old incubator for hatching. I am kinda conserned about the one that is zipping though,
Bingbingthestar 2 years ago
I'm not on many other sites - I pretty much hang out here.
Sometimes the old, reliable incubators are the best - especially if you are getting good results on a regular basis then you know you've got a good one, and good methods! I wouldn't worry about the egg that's ahead of the others. It's the slower ones that you have to worry about - they are usually weaker and less likely to survive. :-)

how many days does it take to hatch a chicken egg?
987zyx1 2 years ago
It should take 21 days but within the range 20-23 is more likely, depending on conditions. There's a link in the vid details box to some great info.. :-)

aww i remember doing this with my first cockerels they are nearly a year old now what breed of chicken are they?
Fireyvidel 2 years ago
These were just generic ranch chickens from a school project... probably not any specific breed - just a mix of whatever was clucking around the barn yard! :-)

What is the temperature in the incubator
naruto101120 2 years ago 2
It's around 100 degrees F. Check out the link in the vid details... TONS of great info there. :-)

Do you have to put the eggs in a Incubator?
aby471 2 years ago
You don't necessarily have to buy one, but the eggs DO have to be kept at the proper temperature and humidity. Store-bought incubators are the easiest way to do this, but it's also possible to make your own with a box and lightbulb. There's some good info at the link in the vid details box. =)

I was wondering what happens if you help them out like breaking their shell for them?
Writerchic1 2 years ago
My guess is that you could get away with it, most of the time. However, I suspect that the earlier-on in the process you interfere, the more likely it is that something will happen (or not happen) to mess them up.
They may need to go through all that effort (and time) to jump-start some other bodily processes... hard to tell with nature - they've been doing it on their own for a really long time :-)

@Writerchic1
You can't help them out too much. While they're hatching, they're absorbing the last of their yolk and also draining the blood from the network of blood vessels that lines the inside of the egg while they grow inside. Helping out before those two things happen can cause the chick to bleed to death. Once they start kicking hard enough to crack the egg like this, though, it's usually okay to help a little.
