Poultry
are different from other animals because they do not give birth
to their young. Instead they lay eggs, and keep them warm until
the chicks hatch. On some farms eggs are collected and kept in
large boxes called incubators that keep the eggs warm and dry.
The eggs stay in the incubators until they are hatched. Then the
chicks are fed by the farmer until they are sold or kept to become
mothers and fathers. |
