A big first this morning:
First birth on the farm.
We've been incubating eggs and yesterday morning was day 21.
And at lunchtime something made a hole
Then it made a bigger hole
I started helping at this point, because it looked like someone was upside down (clearly following in the footsteps of the best, i think, but I might be biased on that one.)
Now you can see (a rather gloopy) leg on top, a beak just poking over the edge of the shell below it and an eye just peeping over the shell rim to the left.
I finally got my leg free!
I'm out! But not fully under control yet.
Nope, it's cold out there, back to the warm corner
Yep, best place to doze and dry out
Looking more chick-y
It's a bimodal device - either cheepy or sleepy, it has no other functions yet.
Just checking all is ok before going out for the evening.
