How exactly does a chick break its shell when it comes to hatching?

Chicks are slowly pecking their shells with their mouths to get rid of this shackle, and I have to say that these chicks are really tenacious.

In the first few days of hatching, the chick will develop an egg tooth that will help the chick peck open the eggshell, and then the chick will come out along the crack in the eggshell.

The researchers looked at eggs that had been fertilized and hatched for fifteen days and found that the inner layer was smaller in size, indicating that the calcium carbonate broke down in an acidic environment and dissolved in the chick's bones, and eventually the chick broke out of the shell. This discovery can be applied to man-made special designs in the future.

Using its own hard mouth, it will peck the shell from the inside, and the chick will break out of the shell when it grows to a certain situation.

The difficulty of chicks coming out of the shell should be treated according to the situation, and it is not necessary to peel the shell:

1. If there is no broken shell, help it gently knock the shell to crack a crack, because some eggshells are too hard to completely knock on, so it is not open by itself, and the development may not be complete, so it is necessary to master it.

2. If the head has been broken, that is, the shell has been broken, do not peel it off, it will come out by itself. Most of the shells are completed, only a few do not come out, you can put the chickens into no, hot warm water, soak for two minutes, have made the eggshells crispy, help the chicks out of the shell by themselves. The survival rate of chicks that are really artificially peeled is relatively low.

Precautions for chicks out of the shell

Chicks who are just a few days old should be fed millet, but millet can not be directly dry fed, millet should be soaked in hot water for a day, and then when it needs to be fed, it should be taken out and spread out for it to peck at. Chicks don't need to be bathed because their feathers have a protective layer similar to oil, and if you destroy it, the chicks will get sick easily. Some coarse and fine sand should be prepared, plus some crushed eggshells to peck at freely.

If it does not eat sand it will cause indigestion. Generally, it should be fed with small and frequent meals, five or six times a day. Do not feed the chickens water, because individuals do not have a good control of the amount of water when raising chickens to play, and their digestive system has not yet developed well, improper feeding may cause gastroenteritis, which is very risky.

Don't peel the shell, let it come out slowly, this is the way of life. As cruel as it may seem, we can get out of the eggshell when we touch it, but we don't. Because only if it comes out on its own with perseverance, such a chick is more tenacious.

It is said that "breaking the cocoon into a butterfly", I think this sentence is as reasonable as both people and things, in the chicken
