with very very small breaths...

...at least until the advent of the BEBA

Baby Eggshell Breathing Apparatus...
very inexpensive...all birds should have one by 2008....
except those dieing of avian flu

the mother swallows this...
then forms the egg and lays it around the BEBA.

The baby grows...finds the BEBA and straps it on.
Voila...instant air.

It lasts nearly the entire gestation of the egg...and the latest models are equipped with an EBA (Eggshell Breaking Axe) that helps the baby chop his way out of the eggshell.

you believe me don't you???

During the last two days the chick inside the egg begins to breathe with its lungs for the first time. To do this it needs an air supply inside the egg shell. At the round end of the egg there is an air space. The chick makes a hole in this air space so that it can now breathe. The chick also calls to the hen through the shell. The hen, therefore, knows that the egg will soon hatch.







Here is a site that explains the process of life from an egg :)

While the baby is developing there are multiple blood vessels spread sround the egg so carbon dioxide diffuses out of the egg and oxygen diffuses in.

When the blood vessels dry up in the egg as the baby gets bigger, the chick pops the air sack in the egg, it has 2 days before the arir sack empties, it then uses its egg tooth on the tip of its beak to hatch. The egg tooth then falls off in a few days.

I hope this helps

it's not just birds.....but one one side of the egg there is a little air space where they can breathe from. You should never turn an egg, because whatever is inside will die.

Next time you eat an egg look on the egg shell on the inside on the bottom/wider side and you will see an air bag.

A baby bird is just like a human baby. They get oxygen from the sac inside, but they don't require oxygen to live until they are hatched.

God gives them live when they uses there egg tooth to get out. There is nothing biological about it. That's why its OK to eat eggs.
