Day one chicken is more complicated and marvelous than anything I will ever make

The heart is the first organ to form. Because it is the best organ. I will not be taking any questions.

[BobbyDukeArts]

Dude, that is truly amazing. Beautiful

[TimeBucks]

Thanks Destin for showcasing something so special for us.

Seeing my kids’ tiny heartbeat on an ultrasound was something that almost caused me to pass out both times I experienced it. It wasn’t a gross feeling. I don’t know why I reacted that way. Just felt like I helped create something that now has the tiniest beating heart. Those moments felt overwhelmingly important in my life. Life is indeed amazing. Cheers!

IDK what's more amazing, the fact that you can see the development of life in real time, or that they have to move around either the embryos or the labels every day in order for that exhibit to work lol

Sat down and watched this with my kids. It was precious watching their eyes get huge, and jaws drop to the floor. Thanks for the awesome video!

Never thought a chicken embryo could bring a tear to my eye. But seeing that teeny little heart just doing like the wind reminded me of heading my daughters heartbeat for the first time. Just so beautiful.

Cardiac cells are super interesting. You can basically set some in a petri dish, stimulate them with the right chemicals and they'll beat. Imagine trying to open and close your hand 100, 000 times a day without stopping. Your heart basically does that since its existence.

This is actually the first recorded developmental biology experiment ever done -- By Aristotle! He realised that if he kept the eggs warm and he broke them in the right way he could watch the embryos develop. People tend to focus on what he got wrong, but this was something really cool that he did.

this actually made me cry out of joy
i am diagnosed with heavy depression and often think about some bad stuff, to say the least, but videos like this actually make me appreciate being a part of this thing we call 'life'
thanks destin

I'd love to see a time-lapse of this under a microscope. Just watching the vessels and everything forming would be incredible.

The reason I support you on Patreon is because you crawl into the launch tube of a nuclear submarine. And also because you share the feels you get over chicken eggs.

[ojiverdeconfleco]

I'm pregnant and deeply moved... literally as well, my insides are moving thanks to my daughter growing. Life is amazing.

[raulmontes]

Watching and hearing my daughter’s heart pump on the first ultrasound was the single most life changing moment of my life. That exhibit is very spectacular.

[gx_no]

You started out with chickens and you haven't really left it, you are still making videos of chickens. Amazing. Hope you make videos for as long as you live.

[alexmaclean]

What gets me is how much work must go into keeping this exhibit running and timed correctly.

[alexc]

This world is a better place because of Destin and what he does.

[AhmadMalik-fdny]

Only a Perfect Creator can create this magnifiscent view. Constant creation and perfect design. There must be Someone out there.

[isaacoakes]

Thanks for posting this. My wife and I just had our 8 week ultrasound and I’m just in awe of the beauty and perfection of the miracle of life. Blows my mind.
