ok, Clutch #2 started pipping last night. again like clockwork for me - day 60, late night.
1st Pied - it actually had it's who neck outta the egg but retracted it when i took out the tub. it has a head just like mom w/ the connecting eyestripes at the base of the neck and a bit of blushing.
a bit later, a 2nd egg was sliced by the baby's eggtooth, but no pip yet.
again later. a 3rd egg sliced by the baby and no pip yet.
i help cut the 2nd and 3rd egg just a lil bit for a lil breathing room and take a peek.
ok, the 2nd and 3rd were pipped this morning but they went back into the egg when i opened the incubator and before i could open their tub to snap a pix. but this 1st one. it has been super curious from 1st pip! it like wanna leave the egg now! never seen such extension mere hours from pipping.
