Chick Egg Incubation and Shell Windowing
Description
Chicken eggs and chicks are useful in research on vertebrate development, neuroscience, tumor biology, and virus growth. They are also practical to work with because eggs can be bought from outside suppliers and the setup needs very little special equipment. Even so, normal embryo development depends on proper handling.

Transcript
Chicken embryos are a great model for studying early vertebrate development, in part because they are easy and inexpensive to maintain. Unlike most model organisms, which are bred in the lab, fertilized chicken eggs are purchased from an external supplier. Additionally, maintaining and working with the eggs requires very litt...
