What is the definition of hatching?
Hatching is the process in which baby birds (called chicks) come out of the egg they are born in. The chicks have an egg tooth that they use to break out of the egg. Once the chick has broken the eggshell, its egg tooth will fall off. I hope this helps!

How do chicks begin life?

What happens if a chicken lays a double yoked egg and it hatches what do you get?
Nothing really bad will happen unless you let the baby chicks grow. This is because lets say that the egg was token for cooking use, when a person cracks the egg open they will just simply find to yokes in it. But if the egg is left for a baby chick to hatch, there won't be enough space in the egg shell to hold both baby chicks. So in that case one or possibly both of the baby chicks would die.
