What's Inside the Egg?

We did a craft project yesterday! We read a book called "Chick Life Cycle" by Elizabeth Bennett and then made our own books. The book showed us what the eggs look like on the inside when the chicken is growing inside. We learned a lot of interesting things...look at our pictures below!

Hen's lay a few eggs a day but only an egg that's been fertilized by a rooster has a red spot in it that will eventually grow into a baby chick, the other eggs are the ones we buy at the grocery store!

This is a picture of the egg inside on Day 3, the embryo is teeny tiny, but it's in there!

This is day 6, the chick now has two wings, two legs and a beak!

This is day 13, the chick has feathers and claws on their toes.

This is day 16, the yolk is almost gone and the chick will have nothing left to eat if it doesn't hatch soon.

This is day 19, the egg is TOO small, the chick is almost ready to come out!

Day 21...the chick finally hatched!
