7. What This Means
• An incubator keeps things at the
right 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’s will hatch
after 21 Days!
10. The Shell
ď‚› The eggs hard shell
protects the baby as it
grows.
ď‚› When the chick is ready
to hatch it will peck at
the shell with it’s beak
until the egg.
11. Hatching Time
oSlowly the chick will
come out from the egg
This can sometimes
take up to a day.
oThe chick is wet when it
hatches from it’s egg.
12. ď‚› 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
warm.
14. ď‚› We will then feed them well and look for a
good home for them to go to.
15. ď‚› We hope you enjoyed learning about our project.
ď‚› We will now ask a few questions and see what
you remember.
