At the tip of a chicks beak is a small sharp bump called the egg tooth. The chick uses this "tooth" to put pressure in the shell from the inside making a small hole for air and then a series of cracks. This process can take 24 hours or more. The chick comes out of the shell with this egg tooth intact but it soon is absorbed as the beak grows and the chick get older.
