Just enough air to break out of its shell before it’s too late? Yes! The whole process is perfectly timed! Look deeper and see how God perfectly orchestrates the chick’s hatching, and He perfectly takes care of us too, even when it appears messy! Click over to the full Family Conquest. The “To Do” activity in the Wrapping It Up section asks parents to share stories about their own growth spurts and any funny reactions of people to them.
Spiritual Nuggets for Family Discussion
Open with a prayer.
(i.e. a Glory Be, or Our Father, or Hail Mary, or ‘Jesus, Mary, Joseph, we love You! Save souls!’)
- The egg shell has 10,000 tiny holes to allow for the removal waste and water, and to help the chick breathe.
- There is an air sack which provides 6 hours of air for when the chick starts to break through the shell.
- The chick has an egg tooth on the top of its beak. When it’s time to hatch, the chick uses this tooth to break the air sack membrane and the shell.
- God designs living things to grow and change.
- Growth and new life are the path God wants us to travel so that we can have eternal life with Him in Heaven.
If you enjoy learning about how amazing God’s creatures are, you can purchase the DVDs or watch on Prime Video: Creatures that Defy Evolution. My children love this series, and we have also given these DVDs as gifts.

Feed that Fire!
The FREE Family Conquest program helps parents “Feed that Fire today… before it’s too late!”
- What Fire? The love of God and of family.
- Too Late? 13 is the average age a child rejects the Faith and his family in his heart! By age 22, that decision shows itself. Today, 85% of Catholic kids leave the Faith!
- Why This Works? WATCHING together Viral YouTube videos and BONDING together through the faith Q&A’s is fun and effective. It also helps parents and kids learn God’s language of parable, so they can discern God speaking in their prayer!
DONATE HERE. Help us help families before it’s too late!
