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. AFTER 21 DAYS
If everything goes correctly the chick will
hatch from the egg 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 take up to a day.
• The chick is wet when it hatches from it’s
egg.
12. The chicks feathers will dry quickly and soon
will become nice and fluffy!
13. STAYING WARM
• The chicks must then be kept very warm for
the next few weeks.
• We will use an infra-red lamp to keep them
warm.
14. • We will then feed them well and look for a
good home to go to!
15. • We hope you enjoyed learning about our
project!
• We will now ask you a few questions and see
what you can remember!
