Babies: eggs, live birth, pouches and parents, sentence 2
If your school has an incubator, watch a chick peck its way out with the tiny hard tip on its beak after about 21 days: it is the same egg you could have had for breakfast, but with a rooster in the farmyard.
Who acts: school, chick, you · What happens: have, watch, peck out, be · To what, where: incubator, way, same egg
