Chicken Egg Hatches In Incubator (Realtime)

This was a school project and the egg hatched while the camera was rolling!

This particular bird is still happily pecking away at one of the school kids' houses, along with a number of other class project chickens. Apparently, there are lots of people who don't want to see them go from classroom pet to dinner table. :-)

The incubator is a McMurray 2TX6:

For those viewers rearing chicks of their own - here is a link to some good info on the web:

There is far more info online - just Google for "chicken egg hatching" to find tons, and good luck! =)

what does it do after its hatched???

[jcmegabyte]

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!

did u gave it a name?

[jcmegabyte]

The family of the student that took this bird home probably did give it a name (almost certainly) but I don't know what it is :-)

I know for certain that this bird in particular went home to one of the students' families, and is still happily clucking away today! :-) Cheers!

[jcmegabyte]
