A fun and simple explanation of how a chick hatches from an egg, perfect for young children.
Let’s learn about how a baby chick comes from an egg!
First, a mother hen lays an egg. This is just like how you might like to find surprises in a basket, but this egg is special. Inside the egg, there is a tiny chick waiting to be born.
After the hen lays the egg, she sits on it to keep it warm. The warmness helps the chick grow strong inside the egg. This can take about 21 days!
When the time is right, the little chick is ready to come out. It uses its little beak to peck at the inside of the egg. Peep! Peep! It makes tiny sounds!
After pecking a lot, the chick finally breaks open the egg. It is now out and can see the world! The fluffy little chick is ready to explore!
This is how a baby chick hatches from an egg. Isn’t that amazing? Now you know how one of your favorite little animals comes into the world!
