“I sure hope you can too.” Fern said.Ruby watched as Moon came out from under her. "I hope I can hatch chicks eventually. Me and Percy have gotten very close lately."
"Is the fourth one hatching now?" Ruby asked excitedly.Fern could feel the fourth egg moving under her. She reached under her to help pull it apart, feeling the chick push out. She snuggled it under her, helping it dry.
She nudged the now-dry chick out from under herself. “Here she is.”"Is the fourth one hatching now?" Ruby asked excitedly.
"Aww!" Ruby said. "I love it when that happens."She nudged the now-dry chick out from under herself. “Here she is.”
The chick looked just like her. It was a rich brown chipmunk colored chick with a creamy belly. “She looks just like I did when I hatched!” Said Fern.
Ruby gasped. "Wow! Really?!" Ruby took a step closer to Fern and her chicks.Fern tapped the white egg with her beak. “Oh- it peeped! Ruby!!! Ruby, it peeped!!” She turned the egg over with her beak. There was a pip! It was small, but it was there.
Fern nudged her unnamed chick, River, Spark and Moon under Ruby, discarded their empty shells, and warmed the white egg. It wriggled under her. She felt it slowly zipping.Ruby gasped. "Wow! Really?!" Ruby took a step closer to Fern and her chicks.
Ruby made sure that the babies stayed under her warm belly. "I can't wait!" She whispered.Fern nudged her unnamed chick, River, Spark and Moon under Ruby, discarded their empty shells, and warmed the white egg. It wriggled under her. She felt it slowly zipping.
"How is it looking?" She asked Fern.Suddenly, she felt a little poke again. A little beak stuck out from one end, and a foot from the other. She frowned, puzzled. They were so pale. So, so pale. Whitish-pink. Nothing like her own dark yellow feet and beak. And their father had yellow skin, too. What was wrong with her chick?
