   As I know, only the content of the egg cannot give birth for the chix.

   wow! amazing pics! thanks for the post!

   How can I eat eggs after I see these pictures

6. Dn!S May 15th, 2007 at 5:34 pm 6

   I suggest you try the same thing you always did

   that is putting it in your mouth…

7. rob May 15th, 2007 at 7:06 pm 7

   its too bad that the chick on the last photo is being slauthered at such a horrific way that it is even more “disgusting” than the beautiful lifecycle above

8. fred May 15th, 2007 at 9:45 pm 8

   omg pathetic greenpeace nerds just eat your fucking chicken humans are made to DOMINATE this earth, we’re top of the food chain so we will have to eat. Eat meat because it is good for you.

9. Rob May 15th, 2007 at 10:56 pm 9

   Well greenpeace is over reacting in allot of ways, but it is because they need to make the world aware of this. nice pics though, allthoughi didnt wana c those chicks die. maybe next time you will put that on top of the list.

    man, i do love those eggs….I’m hungry

14. John May 16th, 2007 at 5:02 am 14

    How was this done? everyone’s assuming it ’s a different egg cracked at each stage of development, but presumably if you carefully took off the shell and incubated the contents you could achieve something like this…

    As for the “I-can’t-eat-eggs-now”: did you really not know that’s what they were? really?

15. sandie May 16th, 2007 at 5:54 am 15

    Since you like photos of this nature how about going back to the beginning of your life in the womb and have someone to make photos such as this to show your mother and father….maybe then you can understand just how hard hearted a person has to be to do this and plaster it on the internet for the world to see…you just might need a little help here.Have you thought about that?

16. robert May 16th, 2007 at 6:16 am 16

    Well, my son was right. I thought the yellow part was the chicken, turns out to be the white. I guess I will have to tell him he was not crazy after all.

    For those of you scream at the poster for the pictures, did you not take science in school? Did you not get the opportunity to dissect the frog,pig,cat? Did you think that someones pet was found on the street one day and became your science class project? Okay, maybe not a pet, but in the name of science, things like this happen every day! As noted under the first image “I hope they are not too disgusted to viewers. This is not what we usually seen on tv or magizines.” you do not see this on a daily basis and you do not think about the fact that science does this often. Plus, if this gets to you - will the process of aborting a baby get you up in arms?

17. robert May 16th, 2007 at 6:22 am 17

    amazing pictures
    and to all you people that are getting mad over this:
    straighten your priorities!
    why would anybody give a fudge over some stupid chicken what with all the human suffering going on now?

18. Nitin May 16th, 2007 at 6:26 am 18

    I luv eggs n chicken but these pics made me sad Now I wil eat just one egg or maybe 2 daily thats it….. OK an occasional of 3-4 a day but that’s all. I am doing this only cuz I feel bad after seeing these pics.

    hey i think they did do that thing with the chick for a human. havent you heard of a little show called in the womb?

    plus i dont understand why people take things too seriously, hey there are worse things on the net then a picture of how a creature is born.

    have you ever heard of rotten.com? i refuse to go that site because of how gross it is.

    but hey i think ur just a bit off the wall to be telling people how to think, im just throwing a suggestion out there. take it or leave it.

21. Aaron May 16th, 2007 at 6:53 am 21

    Yeah…I have to agree with robert on this one, its not the abortion of baby chicks that should get you all crazy for some ransacking of corporate science in America. I think that the abortion of babies should make you sick, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think abortion is a good idea in some cases, just not when last nights party got out of hand, and now you have this “extra baggage” and need someone with a coat hanger to do you good on the whole “imma party like I got no womb” mentality.

22. Sudha May 16th, 2007 at 7:10 am 22

    19 embryos were killed for the sake of this photo series! Yuck.

    Zoology was one of my subjects in college and in my sophomore year studying development of the chick embro was part of the syllabus. Seeing these pictures brought back those days and the sick feeling that I lived with. It was one of the reasons that I gave up Zoology.

    “This is disgusting”

24. Ashley May 16th, 2007 at 7:50 am 24

    Do u people eat chicken??? I’m betting most of u have eaten more than 19 chickens in u’r lifetime……guess what!! That means that u killed just as many chickens for u’r dinner as they did for this show if not waaaay more. Quit bitching! If u dont like it, don’t look at it.

25. Sayne May 16th, 2007 at 8:36 am 25

    What they did here is save 19 chickens from growing to the point that they would be able to feel the sting of the cleaver as their little chicken heads are hacked off. All I see here is a waste of food, those eggs could have fed starving ethiopians, or the chickens they grew up to become could have been turned into delicious chicken nuggets, and added to another 50 americans’ obesity levels!

26. LeoZ May 16th, 2007 at 8:49 am 26

    wow. grow up. wanna go back to the dark ages? i have spent portions of my life as vegetarian. for life to be respected, it must be understood. every time you wash your hands with soap you kill something living. where do you draw the line? try to see the beauty in things for frick’s sake.

27. mark May 16th, 2007 at 8:58 am 27

    1, great pics, thanks for sharing.
    2, if this series of photos was taken by killing 19 chickens and you this this was disgusting then you probably missed to recognize Kentucky Fried Chicken at the corner. Which means you stupid
    3, having the first post and announce it doesn’t harm anyone (although it is barely for fun) but saying something like “First! Ooooohhh, you were first, fantastic, your family will be so proud of you. You sick loser! ” means that you are depressed and trolling on a forum. You need to vote YES on light drugs and you should take marijuana daily.
    4, “DOMINATE this earth” LOL. You are funny. Please learn some grammar before you try to dominate Earth. Thank you :)))))

    And you who think you can’t eat chicken/egg any more: do not worry. You eat those eggs which are not in this state of development (well, accidents can happen but you have 1e-10 chance so relax and get the nutrition.

    I personally think these photos are nice and excellent for kids to understand how the living things formed.

    It’s the study of reproduction here that is interesting as well as the over the top emotion it subsequently encountered.

    This was in no way cruel nor painful for the embyos involved. It is a reasonable investigation carried out well.

    No emotion should be involved with a humane scientific study.

    Perhaps these arguements would be more effective against the outrageous and blatent attrocities that happen in US occupied Iran and Iraq?

    Well done on the O study here, I say.

30. R. Narayanan May 16th, 2007 at 11:12 am 30

    All those righteous people who expressed disgust and horror forget that pharmaceutical manufacturers use a lot of animals for testing the drugs on them, and that medical and biological researchers use a lot of birds and animals for their tests and experiments.

    For my part, I should say that no motive or character analysis is to be attributed to comment on a Post like this.

    We are seeing so much slaughter, murder and carnage around us that it is surprising to note people make a mountain out of a molehill.

    Do any of the complainers even KNOW that we don’t eat fertilized eggs? Chickens lay unfertilized eggs when exposed to the right light. Not eating eggs because of the baby chicken in side is like telling a woman every time she has a period she is murdering a baby…

    sigh.

    Science is hard.

36. Christine May 17th, 2007 at 6:54 am 36

    Ok, all you stupid earth geeks. Get over it. We as human are ment to eat meat. It has been part of our life since caveman days. Yes somethings that man has done for the sake of man kind might be morally wrong, but the thing is we would not be were we are if we had not experimented with things.

    The pictures above show a wonderful thing. The development of life. It is a chicken. I know I eat lots of chicken. I have a very soft heart when it come to soft fuzzy things, but I also can look at the pictures with a open mind. It is meat to see the stages and I would gladly show my 5 and 6 year old them. They are well done.

    As for those that say they cant eat eggs ever again, go back and look at your biology books. It takes a female and a male to make a baby. The chicken that produce the eggs you eat live in a warehouse were they are kept away from males. They are fed and thier only job is to lay eggs. Now if you eat farm eggs, you never know what you may get.

    Get a life, grow up and eat your protien. It’s good for you.

37. BioBaum May 17th, 2007 at 10:22 am 37

    I did something like this during zoology-studies on embryology but after 10 days I had to stop because of Germany’s laws on animal-experiments.
    Nice to see, how it looks day 11-21.

    Contributing to the moral discussion, I am not a vegetarian and I’m aware of the fact that these are only 20 chicken - nothing compared to the billions we slaughter every month - but I admit that I had some displeasing feelings in my belly after opening the day-8-10-eggs.

38. Maykat May 17th, 2007 at 10:40 am 38

    These pictures are amazing. When I was in fourth grade we hatched and raised baby chickens. I only wish I could have seen each stage of development back then. I am really very glad to see these pictures.

40. Cheryl May 17th, 2007 at 12:44 pm 40

    Surprised to see there are still so many people out there who think we have to eat meat to be healthy. Quite frankly, I believe the way we treat animals shows a great deal about us, usually not good.

    This isn’t science, this is somebody’s idea about taking pictures to gross people out and gain attention. How chickens develop in the embryo has been known for decades. Nothing new here, including complete disregard for life.

    You can’t create it, you have no business ending it.

41. Mol May 17th, 2007 at 1:31 pm 41

    I am fascinated by the responses.

    I never considered that the development of an chicken’s embryo was attention seeking.

    Nor did I consider that just because I know how it happens, that children (who should be taught about the development of mulitple cell organisms) would somehow already appreciate something they have yet to see to comprehend. Let’s be honest, it is NOT gruesome, it is very mild and innocent.

    Further to correct an innacurracy, man CAN create life (pro-create) and with statements being made (such as), “You can’t create it, you have no business ending it,” isn’t the reverse statement really the one being made? That’s ironic and very frightening, and it is the mentality that has (currently) got America into Iraq in the first place.

    I applaud (again) the efforts made here to show the progress of egg to chicken. And the progress, whether intentional or not, of a most revealing forum.

    I’d consider doing a whole other “behind the scenes” study of this, if I were you!

    Cheers.

42. Edi May 17th, 2007 at 3:44 pm 42

    I don’t know how many of you will read this far but:
    First, I’m guessing these chickens were dead before they were cracked out of their eggs. They look pretty lifeless and at the same time untouched. Those who raise chickens often check eggs to find ones that are dead, which is done with lights.
    Second: Your grocery store eggs are usually unfertilized, which was said above. Female chickens produce eggs even if they are not exposed to a male, therefor the egg has no chicken in it. Sometimes you’ll get one with a spot of red, but just throw it out, thats why you always crack your eggs in a separate bowl first.

43. Squeezle May 17th, 2007 at 7:52 pm 43

    What a buncha tards. Don’t you realize the eggs you eat ever day aren’t fertilized? They will never grow to be anything other than food. Or a good bomb for the treehuggin morons that abound these day. I heard an omelette calling my name.

44. n00b May 18th, 2007 at 4:50 pm 44

    That was amazing…

47. crazy... May 19th, 2007 at 1:49 am 47

    Just to continue on what Edi said about the red stop on the eggs…

    The red spot in no way means a chicken is going to hatch. It is just a blood spot that forms in the uterus of the hen. You can also get “meat spots”. But that isn’t a baby chicken either that is just a part of the repro tract that came off during formation of an egg. So go ahead and get all mad about these chicks being real chicks (whatever) but the ones you eat are not going to be nor will they ever be chickens. And any bad spots you get in ur eggs, while they are undesirable will not hurt you and are not baby chicks. So even if ur a veg. you can still eat eggs… unless ur crazy and don’t eat any animal products.

48. Caroline May 19th, 2007 at 7:26 am 48

    I dont know why all you guys are up in arms about eating eggs now, people complain about this and yet still eat battery eggs. The majority off eggs people eat would never turn into a chick anyway

49. molex May 19th, 2007 at 11:16 pm 49

    That’s great! Now I know where all that delicious chicken meat comes from. BTW I don’t eat eggs, I just toss a dozen down my garbage disposal every morning and laugh at the crying hippies. Oh, then I fire up all 3 of my SUV’s and just let them idle in my drive way for 2 or 3 hours, sometimes with a brick on the gas peddle. And then I eat 1/3rd of a steak for lunch, throw the rest away and laugh because I know some smelly hippie’s hacky sack just went in the gutter.

    Enviro-dopes, shut up. It’s an egg, not a symbol.

    Why are people getting so bent out of shape over the eggs? They’re just eggs, and a life or not, the chicken was probably either going to be slaughtered anyway or put in a tiny cage to produce eggs for the rest of his or her life. It’s no big deal.

    I’ve always been curious about the stages of a chicken forming — These are awesome pictures. Absolutely beautiful. I always thought that the yolk spawned the chick, but now I see differently. Thanks for opening my eyes!

    To the rest of you complaining, you really need to lighten up. What does going back to the time of your birth have anything to do with a chicken? Jeeze. Stuff it, guys.

    I hope you people know that all of the embryos are now dead. He most likely cracked eggs of known age into a petri dish, and then took a photo. If it were possible to do this, it would be a standard science class experiment.

    The ‘artist’ should step forward with his admission of what methods he used for these pictures.

73. Kizza June 8th, 2007 at 4:57 am 73

    Have you seen the way they slaughter farm animals to put on the dinner plate? The chickens in these photos could have been dead already, for all we know. As said somewhere above, the eggs in incubation are often checked for life, and if they aren’t developing, they are discarded. Why not learn a little about the miracle of life while you’re at it?

    Before you get on your high horse about the preservation of life, please consider other possibilities. Also realize that the use of embryonic research can save more lives than it destroys. Embryonic experiments in virology by Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet (a world renowned scientist, who actually went to my primary school, and grew up in the town I live in) worked to develop a vaccine to save many species of bird subject to the canarypox avipox virus. He did this through embyonic experimentation, something you all seem to hate.

    Science is not the enemy, experiments like this not only satiate our curiosity, but are used for the benefit of living creatures. Would you rather canarypox kill tens of thousands of birds, or have Sir Burnet carefully use as many as he needed to develop cures and save the rest of the bird population?

    The same goes for human embryonic research. Would you rather a human ovum discarded from IVF harvests be burnt/stored indefinitely as biological waste? Or would you rather that life that would have otherwise been sacrificed needlessly go on to do greater things, such as be responsible for the cure of cancer, or stem cell therapy to remedy multiple sclerosis that affects so many more lives today. And so many other life threatening and debilitating diseases and illnesses that plague a great percentage of the world’s population. People are dying every day, needlessly.

    If you view it in that light, embryonic research is the lesser of two evils when it comes to needlessly discarding life as opposed to learning from God’s greatest creation in hopes that we might make a better place of His world.

75. Odin Dax June 11th, 2007 at 7:39 pm 75

    Yes, you can eat eggs again! The difference between an egg that we eat and an egg hosting a one-day chick is that the eggs we eat aren’t FERTILIZED!!!!! Chicken farms don’t keep roosters roaming around! Geez…

76. Flaunt June 13th, 2007 at 5:07 pm 76

    lol yeah guys.. erm, i dunno why you guys are assuming 19 chicks were killed opposed to just one.. and look! he lived! for all we know hes making babies as we speak, so stop bitching. Im going to agree with Odin Dax, the eggs we eat arent fertilized, chickens just lay eggs… which cant hatch because the there was no rooster! do you think that for every egg, a chicken and a rooster had some fun? nah… you guys came to this site, your fault for being disturbed, which i duno why you would, its life.. weak stomach? there was a fair warning at the beginning.

77. Amanda June 13th, 2007 at 5:08 pm 77

    Life cycles have always seemed like such an amazing thing, then I saw this. It’s too bad the poor defenseless chickens were sacrificed. Hopefully, this can be used as a teaching method so it isn’t a total waste.

    It will be a while before I am able to eat eggs again.

    Yum-Yum, chicken and/or eggs for breakfast. For every animal you don’t eat I’ll eat 3.

    I don’t think this is disgusting, I think that it is a part of an animal’s lifecycle that we rarely get to see. I don’t agree with the people that say that we are made to dominate this Earth, that is pure ignorance and arrogance. I am not a vegeterian, but I respect your right to choose what you eat. I believe that it is both disgusting and disturbing, how animals are slaughtered, but since I can do nothing to prevent their death by not eating the products, I do not attempt to boycott the companies in this way. If you do, though, more power to you, I hope that you make an impact.

    The christian right object to this because they are against science and exposes them. it cost so many new lives to show this sequence. Of course they have no feeling how this shortsightedness also relects on the being ok with all the death and destruction being heaped on the world by the deciders stupidity.

    But these are truly great and very educational pics, thanks for posting them.

    Hi!
    Those picts are wonderful …are they in the public domain or on a specific copyright ? Can I use them on my website ?
    Thanks for sharing !!!

    1 - this can be done in a lab without causing the embryo to die. We had several chicks incubated and grown without the shell. They all lived and went to a petting zoo after the study was complete.
    2 - in human arrogance one might think it’s just a chicken, but death to satisfy one’s curiosity remains gross no matter the subject.
    3 - Just because some scientist do this do you? (just because some people jump of a bridge, do you?)

    I like pigs.
    Dogs look up to us.
    Cats look down on us.
    Pigs treat us as equals.

    imho the species on this planet deserving the least amount of respect is us.

    On a brighter note, sweet images nonetheless, I just hope you did this properly without causing the loss of chicks. (keep the outer membrane intact while removing the shell and keep the sac from drying out, the embryo should still grow fine in an incubator if this is done.)

    Hi,

    Highly pedagogical pictures indeed. I’d like to know where you found them. What about the copyrights if I want to re-use them.
    Thank you for helping me to get an answer on this point.

88. Alicia July 21st, 2007 at 7:22 pm 88

    Hi Charles,

    I am not sure about the copyrights. I got them from my friend who forwarded the mail to me. I thought I’d share them in my website.

    Sorry if my answer is not helpful.

89. Charles July 25th, 2007 at 1:04 pm 89

    Thank you very much for your answer Alicia.
    I will try to track this author. Could you please forward my request to your friend who forwarded this content to you ?
    Congratulations again for your blog.

    This IS pretty gross. A part of me says this is really impossible. The other part says photoshop. And my ego says shut up and admire the grossness. And the eggs you eat DON’T contain real chicks. Unless you shop from a real rustic, super old-fashioned farm, and even most of those shine them through some sort of light to make sure there are no chicks. Also, I can’t believe that you idiots bicker about being vegetarian when what you should be bickering about is religion. Aaaand… FIGHT!

    The only dead chicks I’m used to are the hookers in the trunk of my car.

99. Larry Mondello November 12th, 2007 at 2:42 pm 99

    These pictures are wonderful! I am going to be raising some chickens for meat and eggs next spring, and it’s great to see how they develop.

    I have to say that the furor from the PETA-esque contingent is pretty humorous, also, considering the horrific lives most chickens lead after they hatch, at least in the USA. Letting the chick survive beyond hatching is not really a kindness.

     Don’t you guys know, that the breakfast eggs you usually eat never had or would have chicks in them? I dunno how it works but chickens on farms lay eggs without ever to have seen a rooster, what makes chicks impossible

     wow. why would you kill all these chicks just for pictures to put on some website?? thats just dumb. be a little bit considerate and think about how the chicks feel. a little chick that was not able to even see the outside world. so you just rip open their shell and take pictures??? thats low.

124. Chickachickaboomboom May 1st, 2008 at 8:25 pm 124

     I am actullay working on a incubator project for school to see if I can hatch chicks.

125. Monica May 8th, 2008 at 3:51 pm 125

     I think these picture are GREAT! I have been having trouble with my 4 year old son trying to explain to him why he can’t tear down every next he finds in a tree, especially when they have baby bird eggs in them. I know this is going to be extreemly helpful for us.

     For those of you who have issues with this, get over it! I know there has to be more than just me out there who find this extreemly helpful.
