Welcome Baby Chicks
Chris, Elmo, and Abby gather around an incubator containing six eggs, eagerly awaiting the moment they hatch. Elmo and Abby suggest providing extra warmth to speed up the hatching process, but Chris explains that nature must take its course. Ernie and Bert join them, as Bert is working on his bird journal and wishes to observe the eggs. While Bert finds the activity fascinating, Ernie grows anxious about the time it will take for the eggs to hatch and who will care for Rubber Duckie in the meantime. Chris reassures them that the eggs should hatch soon, having already been incubating for some time. Elmo brings out an alarm clock to wake the chicks, but Chris gently reminds him that it's not how things work in nature. To pass the time, they head to Hooper's Store for some arts and crafts.
At Hooper's, everyone engages in chicken-themed art projects. Bert struggles with creating a feather image for his journal, while Elmo builds a popsicle stick coop, Abby crafts a pipe cleaner chicken, and Ernie makes a seed and corn picture. Ernie accidentally spills glue on the feathers and then sneezes, causing them to stick to Bert. This mishap results in an unintentional feather image on Bert's paper. They return to the incubator to continue watching the eggs.
To make time fly, Abby tries a literal approach by using magic to send Elmo's clock flying. Instead, they decide to pass the time by singing and dancing like chickens. Bert alerts the group as the eggs begin to hatch. They marvel at the newborn chicks, but Ernie notices one egg remains unhatched. Chris explains that sometimes not all eggs hatch and they should appreciate the chicks they have. As they continue observing, Ernie jokes that the chicks think Bert, covered in feathers, is their mother. Elmo and Abby sign off after naming the hatched baby chicks.
