Description/Notes
Have you ever seen a hen sitting on a nest of eggs? Have you wondered why she is sitting there? That hen is keeping her eggs warm until they are ready to hatch -- into chicks! But before a hen can lay her eggs, many things have to happen. In this simple introduction to the development of a fertilized egg into a chick, young readers are given a glimpse into the secret inner workings of the egg -- and the growing chick inside. Read and find out all about eggs -- and how baby chicks grow inside of them. Learn how chicks develop, how they get the food they need to grow, and how a mother hen helps keep them safe in this simple introduction to the life cycle of a baby chick. Describes what happens day-by-day for the three weeks from the time a hen lays an egg until the baby chick hatches.
