Chicks start hatching at around the 21st day of incubating. They first peck with their egg tooth--a growth on their beak that they use to poke holes-- a pip hole. After they peck the pip hole they wait from 4-6 hours to get used to breathing air and to rest. Then the chick, that is inside the egg, pecks in a circle around the egg. After that they split the egg in half and viola! The chick has hatched!
