chicks

Nancy's class is hatching chickens to celebrate the coming of spring; but when they turn up missing, Nancy steps in to solve the mystery.

Large illustrations and simple text describe what an egg is made of and how it hatches into a chicken.

Follows an egg from the time it is laid, through its incubation under the hen's body, to the chick's birth after twenty-one days.

Photographs and text record the changes chickens go through as they grow from birth to adulthood.
