The lifecycle of a chick is approximately 21 days. The mother hen will sit on her eggs for 21 days straight turning her eggs approximately 50 times per day. She will talk to her baby chicks inside the eggs as they are growing, and the internal temperature for the egg must be 99.5°F. If the egg is too cold or too warm the chicks will not hatch!In the little red schoolhouse, we have been raising chickens for over a decade! These are pictures of some of my kids in One of our first “life cycle of a chick“  projects when they were just babies! My kids and students have enjoyed watching each stage of development from embryo- hatchling, and have enjoyed naming, feeding & caring for their chickens as they’ve grown!
