Wir brüten was aus – Osterküken
In the organizer's words:
Have you ever watched a chick hatch? Eggs from various domestic chicken breeds are incubated at the Natural History Museum.
How the chicks peel out of their shells can be closely observed in the show incubator. This is hours of hard work. But there is already a lot going on days beforehand. There is jiggling and peeping, as the best time to hatch is already agreed in the egg. Depending on the breed, differently colored and differently sized chicks are born, which spend their first days in two walking arenas in the museum. Then the chickens return to the farm of their parents and grandparents.
But there is even more to learn about chicks, eggs, nests and egg-laying animals in the museum. How does the chicken actually get into the egg? And why doesn't a chick hatch from our breakfast egg? The accompanying exhibition uses large-scale models and animations to show what happens in the egg and how an extremely complex creature develops in just a few days. But not only hens lay eggs and, contrary to the popular saying, no two eggs are the same. There are also nests built according to all the rules of architecture and birds use a wide variety of niches when choosing their nesting sites.
Please note: To ensure that the chicks are not harmed, the number of people in front of the arenas is limited. Groups are asked to register their visit at the museum.
