First 5 Days of a Life - Smarter Every Day 254

Are those your tiny dinosaurs or the ones you got for your dad? Yes, for all of the awesomeness in the video I'm asking if those fluff butts are running around your yard or not LoL

Weird that this is the video that finally pushed me to become a patron after finding his original chicken video all those years ago.

Wow, That is amazing, Thank you, Destin. I first heard about about that waste sac in a brilliant chapter of "radiolab" podcast called "The primordial Journey". It had the same effect on me that your video, of awe about the beauty of life. https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/theprimordialjourney

Awesome! Life is amazing and precious! Thank you Destin.

Amen

This one is pretty wild: a salamander growing from an embryo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEejivHRIbE

Yes.. someone above put a link to a youtube link which has a video on not only that, but also how they do it: https://youtu.be/uE0uKvUbcfw

This is beautiful and amazing! It would be incredible to see a time lapse throughout each day as the chicken grows through each stage. To see life be formed is spectacular!

Hmm yes, I thought about that too, but why do they then only show the first few days of gestation?

Daniel Bohrer

It should be possible to do the full gestation proces in a petri dish. The yolk contains all nutrients needed, so the chick should be able to grow without a shell.

I was at the Exploratorium a couple of years back with my wife. She's a teacher so she has visited a similar museum with her class in the Netherlands. So we decided not to go in. Never again will I agree to that! 😁 Chances for curiosity, learning and discovery should never not be taken! Thanks for your video's Destin! New Patreon here 😉

Oh wow, I've never seen such a thing before! According to their homepage, the embryo begins to live before the egg is laid, and the shell grows around it, so I guess there must be some artificial insemination going on here? And what do they do with the eggs after the seven days…?

Daniel Bohrer

(Second half of the above) I had the exact same thought. Irony.

That was so awesome! Thanks very much for sharing this!

This is so fascinating! I need to experience this exhibit in person. Life is an amazing thing. God truly is a wonderful designer. I pray this brings folks to see that life begins at conception. Thank you for sharing Destin! <3

As a biologist, I really loved this short but awesome video. As a trainer, I can tell you that animals can and do learn in these "pre-born" stages. Thanks for adding some animal biology to your fabulous channel!

Some employee’s job is to crack a new fertilized chicken egg and slide them down the row every other day! What a job

This is just awesome. It’s videos like this that drive me to be a patron. Well if I’m honest all your videos do.

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a while (with respect to your other videos). Thank you for sharing

What a great video.. EVERY child in school should have to see this as part of their biology class. How do they protect the egg and get the shell off? And.. they really open up a new egg every day for the exhibit? That is so cool! I dont want to make the post somehow controversial or political but the irony of this existing in the city which is so far on left of the question of abortion and which would deny that an embryo is a life literally until it is born astonishes me. I am not particularly religious but you can't deny this as pure science.

Steve Jones

Praise the God of creation. That is so neat and amazing to see. We have raised chickens and also watched them hatch/break out of the shell at the other end of the process. Thanks Destin.

So awesome, thanks!

Very cool! Great video to start the day with some reflection. Thanks!

There are a couple videos showing this as well, absolutely incredible! This one actually goes through the process of showing how you can observe it, if you want to skip to the growth itself, go to 4:50 https://youtu.be/uE0uKvUbcfw

Absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing.
