What Does A Chicken Hatching Look Like?

April 13, 2015 alchemist_farm

Ever wondered what a chicken hatching out of an egg looks like? Here are some fun peck by peck shots of some chicks making their way out of their eggs after being in the incubator for 21 days.

After hatching the chicks stay in the incubator to dry out and “fluff up” while other chicks hatch out of their eggs.

Once all of the chicks have hatched they are placed in a brooder under a heat lamp and given access to chick crumble and fresh clean water.

This Weeks Fun Photo: French Black Copper Maran Speckled Egg

Why are these eggs sometimes a deep chocolate and other times speckled? The answer lies in how the egg is laid by the hen. A French Black Copper Maran egg has a light brown shell naturally that is given an extra coating of dark protective coloring in the last few hours of the laying process, if you were to scratch the dark color with your finger nail it would begin to come off. When the coating is not fully applied the eggs can have a dinosaur speckled look like this egg laid yesterday. On the other side of the spectrum, the dark coating can be over applied and you can get an extremely dark egg with even darker speckles on top of that. Whatever the pattern you get on a given day is always a fun treat to go collect the days eggs and see what nature has done with the day!
