Where Do Chicks Come From?
By Amy E. Sklansky
The excellent illustrations of the egg-laying anatomy of the hen, structure of the egg, and embryo to chick development process and hatching process qualify this book for recommendation. The one short-coming of this book is that it only depicts chickens in a free-range setting and hatching eggs on a nest. Educators in the process of incubating eggs can discuss that issue when they read this book. This book receives high marks in discussing which eggs are fertile, why and which eggs are not. It actually contains a page explaining that the eggs children eat for breakfast are not fertile.
