What the chick beside an Easter egg shows

The scene places a young chick next to a decorative egg marked with stripes. Both stand on a small mound, while thick grass grows behind them and along the sides. The chick and egg form the main Easter subjects, with no signs, baskets, flowers, or other animals added to their grassy surroundings.

Interesting facts about chicks and eggs

Before hatching, a chick uses a temporary hard point on its beak, called an egg tooth, to begin breaking the shell. Newly hatched chicks communicate with soft peeps and quickly learn to follow a parent or moving caregiver. Dense grass can offer birds places to search for seeds and tiny invertebrates.

True-to-life colors for the chick, egg, and grass

  • Chick down: yellow, cream, brown, black, gray, or a mixture of these shades
  • Beak: pale yellow, tan, orange, or dusky brown
  • Legs and feet: yellow, orange, pinkish tan, or gray
  • Eggshell under the stripes: white, cream, pale blue, greenish, or brown
  • Grass and mound: fresh green, olive, or golden brown in dry areas
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Are all baby chicks yellow?
No. A chick's down color depends on its breed and genetics, so chicks may be brown, black, cream, gray, patterned, or yellow.
How does a chick breathe before it hatches?
Tiny pores in the eggshell allow gases to pass through. An air space inside the broad end of the egg also helps the chick begin breathing as hatching approaches.
Why do chicks peep?
Peeping helps chicks communicate about comfort, location, hunger, or distress. A parent hen responds to these sounds and may call the brood toward food or safety.
