living 4 day old chick embryo removed from the egg. the heart is beating and supplying blood to the embryo, and bringing in oxygen and nutrients through the large blood vessels at the bottom of the image. note the very large brain region and the size of the eye. the embryo is still very small compared to the size of the egg.

  • you need to get a fertilized chicken egg from a breeder/poultry farm. i don't think breed matters. turkey and duck eggs work also. you can get small incubators at feed mills.

  • That's amazing...but does the chick live?

  • No. This is done for educational purposes.

  • how did you do that? I love it

  • i just cracked open the egg at 4 days old (this is for work) into a dish of warm saline, under a low power microscope. then i put my camera lens right up to the eyepiece of the scope - you can take pretty cool pictures that way.

  • Why is there a guy holding a baby in there??

  • god is amazing.

  • you are cold!

  • Yes, after we're done, we just put the embryo back in the egg and glue the shell back using crazy glue. You just have to be careful not to put any glue inside as the chick will remain stucked on the shell for ever. We can do the same thing with human babies actually. It is called abortion.

  • what kind of eggs do u need to do this, i want to do one is very interesting...

  • Que loco veio que é isto

  • that chicks as good a dead
