g

5. KEEPING WARM!
• The Eggs Are Kept Warm
• Usually The Hen Sits On The Eggs To
Keep Them Warm

6. INCUBATOR
• However, We Cannot Use A Hen So We Will Use An
Incubator
Why
Cant
I Keep
Them
Warm?

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. 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 Its Beak Until The Egg
Cracks

10. 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 The Egg
• The Chicks Feathers Will Dry Quickly And Soon Will Become Nice And
Fluffy
BEFORE AFTER

11. STAYING WARM
• The chicks must be kept warm for the next
few weeks
• We will use an infra – red lamp to keep them
warm

12. THEIR NEW HOME
• We will then feed them well
and look for a good home to
go to
