I have 11 eggs hatching today. 3 are already out. This little guy has been maybe 1/3 zipped since noon - over eight hours. From pip to zip was only a few hours, so when he started zipping so soon, I thought he got tired and napped. But he's slowly - ever so slowly - made his hole bigger throughout the day. I can see his beak sticking out and I can see him breathing. His little beak shakes a lot, like he's tired.
There are seven other eggs pipped in there, so I don't think I'll open it and risk harming the others. But it's breaking my heart to leave it just sitting there!
Will he make it?
