IHatch Chicks

iHatch Chicks is the 16th 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 finally decide to do a project on hatching chicks, even showing it in 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 they have hatched earlier than expected and escaped the incubator. Carly, Sam, Freddie, Spencer, and Duke search the apartment to find them. They have a time limit, seeing 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 hid 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 and all six chicks are save.
