7. WHAT THIS MEANS
An incubator keeps things at the correct
temperature. Can you think of anywhere an
incubator could be used? Think of little
babies.
Our incubator will keep the eggs at the
correct temperature for the chicks to grow.
8. THE INCUBATOR
We have to turn the incubator three times a
day to make sure the temperature is even.
9. If everything
goes correctly
the chick will
hatch from the
egg after 21
days.
AFTER 21 DAYS…
10. THE SHELL
The eggs hard shell protects the baby as it
grows.
When the chick is ready to hatch it will peck
at the shell with it’s beak until the egg
cracks.
11. HATCHING TIME
Slowly the chick will come out from the egg.
This can sometimes take up to a day!
The chick is wet when it hatches from its
egg.
12. The chicks
feathers will dry
quickly and soon
will become nice
and fluffy!
FEATHERS
13. STAYING WARM
The chicks must then be kept very warm for
the next few weeks.
We will use an infra-red light to keep them
warm.
14. We will then feed
them well and
look for a good
home to go to.
FEEDING!
15. We hope you
enjoyed learning
about our
project!
We will now ask
you a few
questions and see
what you can
remember!
