Peeping and Pipping
The chick will call out inside the egg as it starts to pip or break open the shell.
As it makes the small holes in a circle from the inside you can often hear it making that plaintive little "Peep" "Peep" sound.
Yes, chicks do chirp in the egg, but only when they are developed enough to do so. (only a half-day or so before they hatch)
Living the chick grows inside the egg doesn't it?
inside an egg, the white part provides food for it. the chicken itself grows in the yolk.
What you see when you crack open an egg is Yolk and albumen, the white and the yellow. This is actually the food for the developing chick when the egg is fertilized and incubated. The chick uses this food for the 21 days it takes to develop. It gets nutrients from the yolk. If you have ever studied the development of an egg you will see what happens. I have seen chicks born out of an incubator with the yolk still attached to their bodies....
Yes, a duck egg in an incubator will get heavy while a duckling is growing inside the egg. This is because the duckling is gaining weight and size.
The tried and true method is to hold the egg up in front of a bright light; a chick inside would appear as a dark spot inside the egg. Otherwise, by looking at it, you cannot tell. If you weighed it over time, the egg would become lighter if a chick were developing inside it.
There will be kind of pocket in the egg which contains enough oxygen for the chick to breathe in the egg for 21 days.
The developing chick feeds on the yolk sac, much like the baby of live bearing animals attaches to the placenta. The chick has enough nutrients when born to got 24 hours without beginning on chick starter.
They don't. The chick inside the egg opens it from inside when it has grown enough
The yolk of the egg is food stored for the chick during its growth.
to protect the chick inside
When a bird's egg is fertilized, a chick is developing inside.
A young chick develops inside the egg and can be hatched naturally or through hatcheries. The young chick depends on the egg yolk for nutrients.

Yolk is good food containing much of what a chick needs, it is after all what the chick grew from inside the egg.
the chick develops on the edge of the egg yolk (the yellow part) as it grows, the chick absorbs the nutrients from the yolk into it's body as food.
There is no definite answer to an unborn chick's gender, even if you candle the egg. Some breeds, you can't even tell until it lays an egg.
