Several people have pointed out the space around the developing embryo, but I would also add that in a natural environment (inside the egg) they are constantly being moved around, the bird doesn't leave them in one position, but rather moves them on a regular basis. I'm curious if the embryos not being moved around contributed to the infections and also to the death of the last one.

[@SuKimm]

that is an interesting point! I don't know how we would go about rotating/moving the embryo if we were to do this again.. but it is interesting to think that it could have contributed to infections and death! thanks for watching!

[@Frithgar]

Artificial incubators for eggs move them constantly as well, they also keep the atmosphere humid. Perhaps if the eggs were placed in a clear sphere of some kind? The difficulty would be ensuring the oxygen supply. I'm subscribing to you and look forward to seeing the next attempt!

[@aleksandars9254]

Agreed, thats why egg incubators have rolls to move the eggs around for proper embryo development.

[@dovemaiden333]

If you bought a even a Hovabator that had forced air and an automatic turne, you could use buy the goose-egg size egg-rollers and place the covered cups in those, I believe. I don't know how much your school has available for budget, though. They ran about 150.00 (US) last year; that's the Georgia Quail old-style styrofoam ones. I have not had very good success with FarmTech myself, another company. A "Happy Farm" hygrometer for water runs 14.95 with free shipping on ebay and is essential for your humidirty. They run on a single round battery. I'd recommend borrowing a Georgia Quail cabinet style if you can't afford one ---they are about 600 and up, but occasionally someone might lend one out for a project like this and you could place the cups easily in the larger turning trays. In regard to the question of whether or not the turning/lack of adequate turning contributed to embryo death, you are working with 'way too small a number to get an accurate statistical result to base it on. You'd need to be working with large numbers of these eggs to get a meaningful answer on that. People who buy eggs from ebay and are successful hatching them often move them very little, if at all---they'll leave them for days in the upright position, turning off the auto-turning mechanism in an attempt to get the embryo to implant on the inner membrane which has usually been compromised during shipping. Some of them manage to pull off up to around a 30% hatch if the eggs aren't too badly damaged and haven't had to travel too far. However, you'll see this weird "horse-shoe or saddle-shape" when you candle the eggs---the embryos implant, but in an abnormal way and some of these hatch, some don't. I don't know if lack of turning or the embryo's implantation is the problem. It would be good to find out.

[@jaysay9099]

Next time try tilting the container side to side at least 3x daily. In nature the egg is flipped on a recorded tally of 20x or more a day by the mom. Just left there like the video the chick does not get enough exercise to grow strong and was probably uncomfortable laying in same position for 19 days probably a contribution to its death. Awesome video though looking forward for a successful hatch next time.

This embryo died because it had no eggshell. Without it, it couldn't develope correctly. The eggshell is responsible for bone and muscles growth.

[@dovemaiden333]

The missing eggshell provided to the growing embryo in Calcium Pentahydrate ( 250 or 500 mg, I forget which) which was added UNDER the egg and yolk in the plastic. This provided the proper nutrition for the chick in terms of Calcium. This is demonstrated on the other KZbin video.

[@missanthropist5806]

What's your point...

[@zenumberonelollipop]

(This will be long but if you want to know why it didnt work) Animals that are developed in an egg have to stay that way because when the animal gets too big but still isn't fully developed the egg keeps everything from falling apart another reason is because of bacteria, bacteria will affect the animal also the heat we dont know what heat it needs now that there is no shell around either it needs more or less because we also dont know if the shell protecting the animal is holding the heat in or preventing too much heat even if the animal had became fully developed it wouldn't live long or it will be disformed. Tho this is a great video because we need to try before we know (I know this was sent a year ago but if you see it please dont get me wrong i love seeing people TRY new things or we would get no where in life)

HI. A A

[@Struudeli]

The problem is that chicks belly is still open when it starts it's hatching, it will slowly close. It's possible to help chick to hatch but you gotta do it very slowly. My baby rooster was born with help (he had too big legs to hatch himself) and it took six hours to do safely. He growed to be healthy and handsome toffee colored rooster.

[@fabianastacia3350]

My mom used to help the weakest chikens to hatch, and they always grew healty. I think it turns out fine if you do it the correct way.

[@aestheticcur9662]

As much as I hate seeing things die, this is some good knowledge right here and I am okay with seeing people break boundaries like this to learn more about evolution as well as simple growth. I would love to see more experiments like this, hopefully with less dying

[@aestheticcur9662]

Mendoza Juan Have you ever looked at the growth of any baby vertibrate? They all look the same in their egg up until a point which can signify a common ancestor. If no one started having fish-like sperm in the Cambrian era, none of us would make that observation and perhaps we wouldn't even be vertebrates (seeing how incredibly simple a tail and head is in the vertibrate world).

[@thehonestorange713]

Why 3 and why did it die. I think there are people born like this and they don't die. Its a hospital in New York I think. Not totally sure don't hold me to that. I'm not mad really, but I'm offput that the chicken may have suffered through all of it. Nonetheless this was a very interesting video

[@LivingBreadHomestead]

As soon as I saw the blood vessel pop... I knew it was over for the embryo. Maybe too much space for movement as well as loss of moisture. A few days before the hatch date, an increase in humidity is key to a successful hatch.

[@SuKimm]

Southern Belle I didn’t know that the humidity was suppose to increase! It was definitely kept constant in this video. Thanks for the tip!

[@Mittzie]

Yup humidity needs increased to at least 60% I'd wager over 75% for this hatch method since you don't have to worry about drowning in the air-cell of a shell.

[@tonis.3311]

fun fact! Human embryonic development is very similar to a chicken's. The only difference is the distribution of certain parts (i.e. the chicken embryo has a larger yolk compared to the human embryo because the yolk will be forming into the placenta later on), also the allentois is smaller in human embryo since it has the mother as the source for gas exchange whereas in chicken embryo it's larger)

[@acatofmanylives-ashe6973]

I'd like to note that eggshells are porous and let in water and oxygen- perhaps the seal created to be bacteria proof was their demise, the better sealed ones dying first from the slow suffocation. Without proper humidity an egg can't mature, after all. Also the eggs are rotated because the yolk will stick to the inside membrane of the shell. Overall it isn't necessary but overall contributes greatly to hatch rate.. if you'd like to view development past this then I'd suggest looking at ordering white eggs and candling them!

[@GalacticThot_745]

Amber Foxwing the tubes are for oxygen

[@hendrik6720]

is it true that the outside of eggs have a thin dried "member" of "mucus" or something of that nature? Maybe, like keeping a babies environment too clean, that its not about the absence of bacteria but what *types* of bacteria are present? Sort of like how gut flora in people help protect from outside infections by hogging all the space where foreign bacteria might otherwise grow?

[@GalacticThot_745]

[@ZomBeeNature]

Unlike all these other bozos here, I don't think not turning them had anything to do with it. Eggs are turned so thr embryo does not grow attached to the petmeable shell. But in your case it is in either glass or plastic so it wouldn't attach. At the halfway point there was a drop in the humidity and it began slowly drying. Then at about 8 minutes the drying accelerated and continued accelerating. Once it dried out too far the membranes couldn't support themselves and broke. So when you do it again, make sure the humidity stays high.

[@SuKimm]

Zom Bee Nature thanks for the tip! We’ll make sure to watch the humidity next time:)

[@hendrik6720]

is humidity a general requirement or is it just 'x ounces of water over the growing period? Would an egg, submerged in a bath of neutral ph (and neutral temp) still grow?

[@ZomBeeNature]

@@hendrik6720 it is a general requirement to keep the egg from drying out because the shell is porous, not solid. Take the two extremes of an egg in 0% humidity and the water evaporating out at a fast rate and the egg drying inside, and at 100% humidity and the water in the egg does not evaporate out at all and there is no drying. I can see some difficulties with an egg submerged in a buffer, but I wonder if they could be gotten around. One is that egg shells are not sterile so when you put them in the solution it would make it easier for germs to grow and you would grow a stew of germs that kill the egg. Another is oxygen diffuses from air across the shell as fast as it is possible to diffuse, but getting from air into the solution, and then from the solution across the egg, would be slower so it might not be fast enough to keep it alive. Another is the egg has the right concentrations of chemicals for development and when you put it in the solution, osmosis would alter the concentrations in the egg to match the solution (because it is porous, not solid), so that might prevent development if they were not the same. Those are things that come to mind. But I think someone should test things out to see if these things are a problem and can be overcome if they are. It would be interesting to see. I even wonder, in the experiment shown here in the video, if they had added an extra egg white, would that have kept the embryo from drying out long enough to develop the full time, or what that would have done? By the way, I think it's amazing it didn't get contaminated for so long.

[@hendrik6720]

Zom Bee Nature additional eggwhite sounds promising Maybe they could grow multiple chickens in one container so the worst and the best properties average out, or supplant immunity by adding a drop of blood from a donor (full grown chicken) to the container. aerogels might make good support, high potential oxygen volume, but very low density. not sure about ph though.

I think a smaller catalyst will increase your success rate. It's moving around too much. If I had to guess, i'd put it between malnutrition and stress death. It appears as though environmental stimulation triggered more reflexes than normal resulting in resources burning instead of nourishing. But meh, I'm no scientist or medical guy, just a nobody really. haha I can't even name more than 3 elements xD. It's just my guess.

So interesting! I love stuff like this !

[@StoicVeR]

fresh comment on an old vid. I would imagine sterility, light exposure, and typical movement of the embryo via egg rotation were all key factors neglected in this experiment. When mammalian's (excluding monotreme's) are gestating, the embryo is in a sterile environment, same as with the egg - ecoli or Salmonella infections occur due to contamination from the egg shell understandibly, it is difficult to achieve a sterile environment for this experiment. The same with sun or light exposure - the UV or illumination is too intense for an organism meant to develop in a pressurized, and contained environment. most notably, egg rotation is essential for circulation due to avian eggs (unlike reptile or amphibian) being anchored within the egg. This is a complex procedure, for a fetus that is meant to be 'laid' and develops over a period of time.

[@SuKimm]

Thank you for your suggestions! We did try to keep it as sterile as possible, but - like you said- it was difficult. Many people have been commenting on the effects of light on the embryo's development. We'll try to keep that into account if we ever try this again. Thanks for watching!

[@animeaunty]

TheVeR01 I was wondering about the sunlight. I was also wondering about the air permeability of shell vs this set up? Do shells breathe?

[@StoicVeR]

shells breathe. If you submerge an egg in water, the chick will suffocate

[@animeaunty]

TheVeR01 I thot so. That's means there prolly where many unaddressed factors n this experiment. I read she had a fish pump for air but obviously air was only on one side of development. Stress factors have to b VERY high, too much exposure & I don't think ambient humidity was correctly controlled either. I also think I remember that hens move the eggs around alot too. This embryo made it much further that one would think possible under such trying circumstances! Perfecting this method may b the answer to some shipping issues? Very fascinating!

[@Comet1808]

Su Kim, First of all, this was so very interesting! As far as the contamination is concerned, I have a few questions. I was wondering if you had taken any cultures of the white spots afterwards, as you believe that this loss could have been from contamination? It might help in further attempts by narrowing down the actual contaminant. It was something to see how the white specks appeared and then rapidly spread, so I do agree that this is the likely reason for the demise. You had mentioned that you had used distilled water. I was wondering if you had sterilized any of your equipment/water? As far as the Cling Wrap, it is possible to use a UV-C light to kill any bacteria or viruses. If there is anyway to sterilize your equipment as much as possible, it could help narrow down any outside contaminants. Also, did you break the shell of the egg directly over the container? I would first consider gently washing the egg shell surface, rinsing it in 2 different sterile water baths and drying it with something sterile, prior to breaking it open. If this were me, I'd have everyone involved wear a mask and cover their hair and done sterile gloves when handling the equipment. I'd culture everything, just prior to the beginning of the experiment, to see if there is any growth. Then if this same thing were to happen, I'd culture the inside of the chick's membrane and see if there is any matching bacteria. This would help narrow down the contaminate. As a viewer, I thought that the movement of the sun & everyone else, in front of the incubator was a bit distracting, but then thought that it could be much worse for the chick. Would you consider some sort of cover for the front in the future? I'm sure that there is light detected thru a normal shell, just not as much. I'm thinking that it's probably pretty dark inside the shell, especially when the mother hen is sitting on her eggs and lighter when she leaves during the day. I'm hoping that you will be able to repeat this experiment some day. I genuinely love this type of work!! Thank you for reading my comments.

*_beautiful_*

[@Trapper-John]

You should try this again and see if you could get them to last longer, or even become cute little chicks!!

[@jasonmoney3280]

That's cruel don't do it again it's like ur killing aborted chicks

[@sebastianaruisi5556]

They do survive when cultured in this way. Just in this case they didn't. Relax

[@smolgok384]

Jason Money have you ever eaten eggs or anything with egg in it? You've eaten aborted chickens. You're cruel dude

[@j.6902]

^ this is not true at all.

[@enchimoon9938]

Noelle Morris

[@kristleblux3151]

Its weird because I felt really sad when I saw one by one the containers were being taken out because of the birds-to-be were dying, I guess seeing them grow would make you sad, especially since it was almost completely ready for hatching but sadly didn't.

[@SuKimm]

it was really upsetting, especially because it was so so close to "hatching" :(

[@Petiellee]

What I learned today: Eggs, I KNEW THAT KZbin HAS IT ALL!

[@Duraging]

it looks so cute

[@bethanysmith5856]

i never knew the embryo moved around so much as they devoloped

[@crzymnky47]

So cool! I've been into birds for a while now and I've always wanted to know what this looks like.

[@ticiax3965]

From my breakfast to living...amazing☺️

[@thatnamelessperson7887]

Who atcully watched this without skipping through half of it? *Not me*

[@shax5532]

Not me

[@JohnathanBach]

Me...

[@jonatanvela5905]

I've never seen an experiment like this, it's really impressive you should try it again, I'm sure the next time will succeed

[@SuKimm]

we're planning on trying it again! we'll be sure to post updates to this channel, so stay tuned! thanks for watching :)

[@photon6490]

No need for killing another innocent baby chick

[@Nobody-qk5fc]

I’ve seen something like it 3 years ago

[@anonimouschicka3930]

Oh no! I was so excited to see full development 😓 but still really really cool

[@shahezadalam8895]

Incredible

[@raceface_m2579]

Balut! Haha jk. This was actually a wonderful thing to witness. Thanks for taking the time to film this.

[@rafi4821]

i love balut too

[@vanillaramen640]

Me too

[@adelinemae7191]

who doesn't!

[@seltaro]

raceface_m Ayye a fellow Filipino!

[@gracella92013]

Nope

[@vinchelofourie]

I'm going to assume that the people whom say that this is "cruel", have never been in a biology classroom, where such experiments are conducted.

[@RmRoyalflush]

it still is cruel to make experiments with life, doesnt matter in which form. but humans have a cruel nature so it okay for many of us i guess

[@pshuckle7488]

So Royalflush... Are you a vegan or a hypocrite?

[@RmRoyalflush]

i'm pretty hypocrite, i know whats objectively right but dont always follow it. but hey atleas im vegetarian, thats something

[@jessicapillow5854]

Phijkchu Shuckle I'm a vegetarian and I don't find this cruel whatsoever. I think it's amazing. It's incredible to see how things develop inside of the "egg". And I'm not upset that they died. Stuff like this happens on nature all the time.

[@razvanradoiu]

How does it make it any less cruel...? "it happens in biology classes so it isnt cruel" lol I dont think thats how morality works

[@SuperTux20]

Dear god that is morbidly fascinating 😂

[@robynalice879]

Su Kim !! My old high school has attempted this method due to your fascinating techniques! 😀 Greatest thanks for being so educational-- Nova Scotia commends you for teaching such young students how to at least make it half way to a successful hatch. 👏🙏❣

[@SuKimm]

This is so great to hear! Reading comments like this is what keeps me going 💕 thank you!

[@AdriMB86]

why are the blood vessels breaking and bleeding on minute 12:00? maybe is related to it´s death, poor baby :/

[@berywildbrielle]

I’ll probably never eat eggs again * presses play *

[@christinaramirez1173]

Brielle Dior The ones we eat aren't even fertilized, so it's not like they could've lived anyways

[@chantesse]

Spooky Purple Spider actually people have done this to store bought eggs too sooo....

[@sherlockbones6702]

Zohe Usher most eggs are pasteurized sooo...

[@chantesse]

Sherlock Bones some* not most otherwise how do people successfully incubate store bought eggs lol.

[@abdalwahed2013]

are you sure ?

[@deluxeguy3877]

has left the server

[@dilawnapancitcanton8017]

What happened to the other egg...... I have aalot of questions

[@ombretta507]

It's died

[@dunns8962]

It died

[@tuningourlivestojesuschris6193]

For your lot of questions..... Here is Ur answer In future u will become a researcher

[@circussystem9451]

The other 2 died? This is pretty painful...

[@Dawesenm]

Kawaii Alexa Gaming You're weak.

[@circussystem9451]

Brandon Mayoral How? I just said that it’s sad! Plus, bich don’t call me weak when you ain’t even know me or my pains.

[@MrPablosek]

Kawaii Alexa Gaming They all died

[@circussystem9451]

Mr. Pablosek ;-; Ik...

[@HSdirectioner5]

Brandon Mayoral how is he/she weak by saying that was painful? You don’t even know the person, or if he/she is weak or not

[@LUCLUCLUCKY]

This is so amazing!

[@SuKimm]

thank you! :)

[@PartyInk]

This sounds great in 1.5speed

[@HelloBitch-xj9fl]

It's amazing

[@FreekickGuys]

awesome video!

[@jennyding6054]

Heyyyyy Su :)) great job with the video

[@SuKimm]

ahhh thanks jenny! your support means a lot!

[@kathy-leew3989]

I remeber when I was in i think 3rd grade (it was a private school ), they showed us a timelaps film with explaination of a chicken egg that was fertilized and it's developement inside an egg (with a small hole) I found it so fascinating as a child that I became a nerd for Biology and I am studying Biotechnology now

[@Storm-uk4rd]

Without the chicken growing in it, imagine how many dessert this egg could help make

[@ytrewq6789]

I hope one day you will get them to fully develop this way?, that would be really cool to see!... Keep up the great work!.

[@RubysZoo]

Please try again and post videos! This was very informative and helpful. I currently have 3 of these that I set today in the incubator. Wish me luck!

[@SuKimm]

Good luck!! And keep me updated! I would love to see your results! :)

[@Sophia17R]

Any update??

[@83loveanimals]

I think is not right to do that..i am not surprised none of them survived

[@linkinsmommy7908]

Valentina Moro No one really gives a shit what some random idiot on the internet thinks. Now, go read a science book.

[@angelawolf1938]

I didn't know the heart was the first to develop! This is a really interesting video!!😀

[@aniket5611]

Same with us,we also develop the heart first in the womb👍🏻

[@alexandrak1350]

...... I hate to break it to you but .... that’s not true

[@crystalplays7906]

Awwww so cute!!!

[@GeneralChrisGaming]

1,500th subscriber right here :P

[@SuKimm]

thank you :)

[@tabithahaas5349]

Su Kim, why do you think the last one died and do you think that this was a difficult experiment? Have you seen anyone have a successful hatch without a shell?

[@SuKimm]

hey, thanks for watching! we don't know the exact cause of death - it could have been anything. but we were suspecting contamination. Supposedly a group of japanese high school students had a successful hatch without a shell, but other than that, i'm not sure. you can read about it in the link below free-journal.umm.ac.id/files/file/A%20Novel%20Shell-less%20Culture%20System%20for%20Chick%20Embryos%20Using%20a%20Plastic%20Film%20as%20Culture%20Vessels.pdf

[@kuraraShotai9]

Su Kim by around the 12:03 mark a small blood spill on the bottom left side of the yolk, so that probably started the weakening of its body, maybe making the other veins weaker as well?

[@ariellepangan9938]

Is it weird that I think this is beautiful?

[@SrbijaCG]

I've just realized that a chicken embryo is more precious to people than a human embryo.

[@Sup_keke]

Woaah when it was a red blob in the middle it was wiggling around. So cool

[@YOKAIRAVE]

Will you ever try this again to see if you're successful?

[@SuKimm]

hmmm that's a good question. I would love to try it again, but I don't want to have to kill eggs unnecessarily. So i guess i would only try it again if there were major changes to the procedure that increase success or maybe with duck eggs instead of chicken

[@8lackz]

Su Kim i got to this video from a same experiment in japan from like a dozen they succeed to make one chivk live healthily...

[@8lackz]

Try #YoBNl4bXt9w

[@picklesdill9138]

Su Kim why duck?

[@shortyfry85]

So close! It looked like bacteria set up shop and spread from the right. Maybe try to identify the source of contamination and avoid/prevent it next time?

[@GirlYouDontKnow-rx3lm]

Pretty music. 😌

[@tomseal6]

Happy birthday little 🐤

[@joseph798]

It died.

[@Super_vic]

You should really try this again

[@alstongaloyo2342]

Slayin It I agree I would really love to see a chick be born that way.

[@oldchannel2519]

Alston Galoyo yeah

[@lynner9427]

I think its sad it died. But more to the point, its eyes arent meant to be exposed to bright light during this time of its development, but its obvious full sun was on it for a period each day, which is cruel. Though this possibly didn't kill it, it caused it unnecessary suffering on top of the obvious.....

[@lynner9427]

Though I take your point. I hope you take mine that for 19 days it had exposure to blinding sunlight for a part of the day with eyes that arent meant encounter it till fully developed and hatched. Perhaps you could put a strip of paper on the door where the sun hits if you do this 'experiment 'again'.

[@SuKimm]

that's a good idea, thank you for the suggestion!

[@Zhiivago]

That is so true. If it survived it would probably turn out to be blind.

[@lynner9427]

Lion Alesso If you are saying that light has nothing to do with the embryo's death, you need to read my comment again because at no time did I suggest that.

[@depressedlesbian1475]

Normally you would have to move the eggs at least two times a day so that might be the reason they all died. The last one was really strong.

[@eintreich1014]

Press F to pay respect

[@aponiaa]

Very interesting! I think if the embryo had a more porous enclosure and possibly was rotated from time to time, it would've made it to term. I grew up on a farm and we had many chickens and lots of lil chicks hatching in the spring. Although the eggs can be fertilized anytime, it seemed that spring was the time when most of the hatching happened. The yolk of the egg seems to be the embryo's nutrition? We had chicks hatch that still had the yolk sack attached to their stomachs. Sometimes they reabsorbed it, sometimes they died. The miracle life is always amazing. Unrelated, I'm really hungry now for some reason.

[@kritikasharma5647]

One of my fishes died today..i never thought it would be this emotional and sad for me to bury her/him (yes fishes are persons like all animals)..i can understand how u must have felt

[@SuKimm]

kritika sharma definitely felt like a mom throughout the process :) thanks for watching!

[@StarryKitsuKat]

kritika sharma Just wanted to say, it's great of you to also care for fish and the chicken. Not many people care for other animals that aren't cats or dogs. Keep spreading that good energy and don't listen to negative people who tell you otherwise.

[@comradegarrett1202]

What if you designed a cup had harder walls? it looks like near the end, the chick's movements became strong enough that it ruptured its blood supply and died. if there was a hard wall preventing those really strong movements maybe it would go better. the trick would be providing good air supply though a hard shell and also keeping contamination under control.

[@umangd3959]

it is amazing to see once come into life

[@marcoviazzo7485]

Magnifico

[@justabbii]

The real question is...what came first the egg or the shell?🤔 Btw who's watching in 2k18??🙋

[@chia1071]

EGG. The eggs are the ones that mutate into the chicken

[@beblepebble3096]

This, children, is why you don't let an embryo grow in a cup.

[@brianpurdun6808]

Coffee Man This, children, is what you call an experiment. Learn, improve, progress, it’s the way of life including to various mammals, insects, reptiles, etc! We all learn and without education we could have never been at the present. It’s actually how a certain species of ants learn, improve, and progress on how to grow fungus and become the notorious farmers we know today. So, please stop telling people non-sense.

[@beblepebble3096]

Ok... This is why you don't kill a chicken in a cup

[@beblepebble3096]

Or something like that

[@Mittzie]

This is why when day 18 hits you increase humidity to a minimum 60% increasing humidity was not done in this experiment so the blood vessels dried and became fragile.

[@mr.yeetersons31]

Dude I see you everywhere

[@angluneenon]

Amazing biological experiment great vid!

[@myarulz032]

This was tried and worked

Cool video! It's just sad that last did not survived 😭

[@starsable2221]

Chrissia Loreine it wasn't dead it just wasn't fertilized

[@mingolingo4740]

Chloe Bustin Are you stupid? If it wasnt fertilized then non of that would have happened idiot. If it wasnt fertilized then it wouldn't have "died"
