2.  Our class has
started the
project on
the life cycle
of a chicken.
 We are going
to hatch our
very own
chicks.
INTRODUCTION

3. HOW IT BEGINS!
 The hen lays one egg every day.

4.  The egg will
turn into a
chick after 21
days if…
THE EGG

5. KEEPING WARM
 The eggs are
kept warm.
 Usually the hen
sits on the eggs
to keep them
warm.

6. INCUBATOR
 However we cannot use a hen so we will use
an incubator.

7. WHAT THIS MEANS
 An incubator keeps things at the correct
temperature. Can you think of anywhere an
incubator could be used? Think of little
babies.
 Our incubator will keep the eggs at the
correct temperature for the chicks to grow.

8. THE INCUBATOR
 We have to turn the incubator three times a
day to make sure the temperature is even.

9.  If everything
goes correctly
the chick will
hatch from the
egg after 21
days.
AFTER 21 DAYS…

10. THE SHELL
 The eggs hard shell protects the baby as it
grows.
 When the chick is ready to hatch it will peck
at the shell with it’s beak until the egg
cracks.

11. HATCHING TIME
 Slowly the chick will come out from the egg.
This can sometimes take up to a day!
 The chick is wet when it hatches from its
egg.

12.  The chicks
feathers will dry
quickly and soon
will become nice
and fluffy!
FEATHERS

13. STAYING WARM
 The chicks must then be kept very warm for
the next few weeks.
 We will use an infra-red light to keep them
warm.

14.  We will then feed
them well and
look for a good
home to go to.
FEEDING!

15.  We hope you
enjoyed learning
about our
project!
 We will now ask
you a few
questions and see
what you can
remember!
CONCLUSION!

16. QUESTION TIME!
 How many eggs a day does a hen
lay?
One

17. QUESTION 2!
How many days does it take
for a chick to hatch from the
egg?

18. QUESTION 3!
What do we keep the eggs in
to keep them warm?

19. Well done on
answering the
questions!
Now all we have to do
is wait for our eggs to
hatch!

20. THE END
 That concludes our presentation. Go
raibh mhaith agaibh!!!!!!
