So cute!

Just keep watching! They change SO fast - even day-to-day - for months! Be sure to take lots of pictures and videos because you'll have full grown chickens before you know it

Wow that’s cool!! What does that mean exactly lol??

That your chick is growing up! The egg tooth is simply a structure created by evolution to help the chick peck his/her way out of the shell. It normally drops off in a day or two. The presence of the egg tooth is also a good way to age a 'day' old chick!
