IHatch Chicks

iHatch Chicks is the sixteenth episode of the first season of iCarly.

Plot
Carly and Sam get paired up for a science project, while Freddie is paired up with a huge wrestler, Duke. Carly and Sam decide to do a project on hatching chicks, and feature it as a segment on iCarly.

After Spencer finds a baby chick in the shower and almost mistakes it for a bar of soap, Carly and Sam realize the chicks have hatched earlier then expected and escaped from their incubator. Carly, Sam, Freddie, Spencer and Duke then search the apartment to find them. They are under time pressure, as the chicks can't stay out of their incubator for more than four hours.

The chicks, named Yoko, Huevo, Shelly, Omelet, Poachy and Benedict, all hide in the apartment in various places.

While searching, Spencer gets stuck in a heating duct, so Carly, Sam, Freddie and Duke keep searching without him. After saving five of them, Carly and Sam find the last one in the elevator shaft. They ask Freddie for tools, but Freddie hits the elevator button and the chick escapes just before the time runs out. Luckily, it crawls into Spencer´s mouth, and when he finally gets out of the heating duct, he coughes it up. All six chicks are saved.
