Absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing.

There are a couple videos showing this as well, absolutely incredible! This one actually goes through the process of showing how you can observe it, if you want to skip to the growth itself, go to 4:50 https://youtu.be/uE0uKvUbcfw

Luke Willey

Very cool! Great video to start the day with some reflection. Thanks!

Rohan A

So awesome, thanks!

ron lindner

Praise the God of creation. That is so neat and amazing to see. We have raised chickens and also watched them hatch/break out of the shell at the other end of the process. Thanks Destin.

Steve Jones

What a great video.. EVERY child in school should have to see this as part of their biology class. How do they protect the egg and get the shell off? And.. they really open up a new egg every day for the exhibit? That is so cool! I dont want to make the post somehow controversial or political but the irony of this existing in the city which is so far on left of the question of abortion and which would deny that an embryo is a life literally until it is born astonishes me. I am not particularly religious but you can't deny this as pure science.

Diane Jowers

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a while (with respect to your other videos). Thank you for sharing

Joshua Griffes

This is just awesome. It’s videos like this that drive me to be a patron. Well if I’m honest all your videos do.

Nathan Klammer

Some employee’s job is to crack a new fertilized chicken egg and slide them down the row every other day! What a job

Kenneth McCort

As a biologist, I really loved this short but awesome video. As a trainer, I can tell you that animals can and do learn in these "pre-born" stages. Thanks for adding some animal biology to your fabulous channel!

JBBrickFanatic

This is so fascinating! I need to experience this exhibit in person. Life is an amazing thing. God truly is a wonderful designer. I pray this brings folks to see that life begins at conception. Thank you for sharing Destin! <3

Ed Strong

That was so awesome! Thanks very much for sharing this!

Trint Ladd

(Second half of the above) I had the exact same thought. Irony.

Daniel Bohrer

Oh wow, I've never seen such a thing before! According to their homepage, the embryo begins to live before the egg is laid, and the shell grows around it, so I guess there must be some artificial insemination going on here? And what do they do with the eggs after the seven days…?

Marc Selman

I was at the Exploratorium a couple of years back with my wife. She's a teacher so she has visited a similar museum with her class in the Netherlands. So we decided not to go in. Never again will I agree to that! 😁 Chances for curiosity, learning and discovery should never not be taken! Thanks for your video's Destin! New Patreon here 😉

Willem Maathuis

In the interest of keeping it purely scientific, I’d like to add a few things though. 1. The human embryo develops far slower, meaning that for a far longer time it’s still a relatively undifferentiated clump of cells. 2. No one on the left believes an embryo isn’t a life until it’s born. Even on the left, it’s pretty universally agreed that there should be a limit on how far into the pregnancy abortion should be possible.

Willem Maathuis

It should be possible to do the full gestation proces in a petri dish. The yolk contains all nutrients needed, so the chick should be able to grow without a shell.

Daniel Bohrer

Hmm yes, I thought about that too, but why do they then only show the first few days of gestation?

Zack bussard

This is beautiful and amazing! It would be incredible to see a time lapse throughout each day as the chicken grows through each stage. To see life be formed is spectacular!

Joshua Pulliam

Awesome! Life is amazing and precious! Thank you Destin.

Weird that this is the video that finally pushed me to become a patron after finding his original chicken video all those years ago.

Clifton Ballad

Are those your tiny dinosaurs or the ones you got for your dad? Yes, for all of the awesomeness in the video I'm asking if those fluff butts are running around your yard or not LoL
