Apparently the term given to an egg carrying a chick, which has a tiny hole in it! So, one of our eggs has started to pip, and we have also heard peeping from inside the shells! Most of the day was spent standing over the incubator watching the eggs do a strange kind of rolling dance while holding a hand held peeping fake chicken to make the pre-hatchlings feel more at home. The things we end up doing in the name of education!
Nature has been left to take its course tonight, and hopefully tomorrow there will be some additions to Year 2.
