Here are a few fun facts about chicks/chickens:
1. The incubation period of a chick is 21 days.
2. A mother hen will turn her eggs about 50 times a day so that the yoke does not stick to the shell.
3. Chicks can eat, breathe, and chirp while still inside their shell.
4. A mother hen looses the feathers on her belly while sitting on eggs so that they get direct body heat.
5. Chicken eggs incubate at 99.5 degrees.
