Chickens: Diet, Behavior, and Development

Mrs. Watson's video explores the lifecycle of a chicken, from egg to adult. It begins by identifying different types of eggs and focuses on the 21-day development of a chick inside an egg. The video details the hatching process, where a chick uses an egg tooth to break free. Post-hatching, chicks are moved to a brooder, where they grow stronger and more active. The video also discusses the life of chickens on a farm, their inability to fly long distances, and their varied colors. It concludes with an explanation of free-range chickens and their benefits.
