Friday, May 5 -
This morning I came into the classroom and could hear sweet little chirps.
After looking really closely I could see a small crack at the top. I went to join the other teachers for a meeting and came back during a break and could see some pieces of shell on the cloth.
When all my meetings were finished I came back and saw the chick had been hard at work.
The little chick worked and worked at getting out.
The chick was hard at work breaking the shell in a line around the egg.
Soon we could see body parts coming out - feet, wings, a beak.
Finally, the little chick made it's way out!
Here are some videos that show the hatching - turn up the volume to hear the sweet peeps.

The chick will stay nice and warm in the incubator until tomorrow when I will come back to the school and move him into his enclosure. Hopefully, we will have some new babies from the other eggs soon!
If there are any changes I will post an update tomorrow.
