Have you seen a chick comes out of a chicken egg? The sight is phenomenal, interesting and wonderful. I have witnessed many times and not bored to see a creature comes to life, giggling and chirping as it sounds. It's wonderful to the touch. Any reaction?

I have seen it a lot of times. My husband is a fighting c0ck breeder and so we have an incubator that can accommodate atleast 60 eggs. It fascinates me each time I see a chick coming out of the shell. It is just amazing how life can be formed on that small shell with just the help of a light.

It's the heat in correct proportion (99-101)degrees for 21-22 days that is needed to hatch a chicken egg. Being small the chicks still need warmth that's why they are brooded by Mother Hen until they grew feathers themselves. It's really a wonder how they survived. They ate grains or feeds right at once unlike other animal youngs.

I haven't seen a chick come out of an egg before, but I'm sure it's a great experience, and someday I'll try to be able to watch an egg hatch. I've read about it and saw pictures in books, though.
