Chirp Hatches!
Tap, tap, crack! A baby chick is about to meet the world.
Inside a smooth white egg, something was moving. Tap. Tap. Tap.
It was a baby chick named Chirp! Chirp had been growing inside the egg for 21 days, warm and cozy under Mama Hen.
Now Chirp was ready to come out. But the shell was hard!
Chirp used the tiny bump on her beak, called an egg tooth, to peck. Tap, tap, crack!
A tiny hole appeared. Chirp peeked out and saw... light! And Mama Hen's kind face.
Chirp rested. Hatching is hard work! Then she pecked some more. Crack, crack, CRACK!
With one last big push — POP! — the shell broke open, and Chirp tumbled out onto the straw.
She was wet and wobbly. But soon her feathers dried into soft yellow fluff.
"Peep! Peep!" said Chirp.
"Welcome to the world, little one," clucked Mama Hen, tucking Chirp under her warm wing.
Chirp snuggled close. The world was big and new, and she couldn't wait to explore it.
