Amazing. Life, birth (hatching), developing - it's all so amazing.
21st day of egg incubation was yesterday.
11 chicks have successfully emerged from their shells.
1 fatality.
16 more to go. Are they even fertile? None of those have even pipped (the initial peck in trying to exit the shell) yet.
One starting to come out
Here is a video of earlier in the day of Kate, Ezra, Weston and I watching chick #4 or 5 coming out of its shell.
The egg to the left was trying all day to come out. Weston finally helped it after it had gotten a lot of the shell off, but it turned out to not be fully developed. It was the 1 fatality. Sad.
