Flower blinked up at the new hen. "She's not hatching or pipping." She said worridly. "But look!""Okay, follow me!" Connor said. He quickly ran back to the burrow. "Flower, I got Nightshade to help!" He said to Flower. He ran inside and stood next to Flower.
She tapped the egg with her beak, hard, and it peeped.
Nightshade started to pace. "It's peeping, which means it's breathing, which means it pipped inside, but it's not pipped outside yet. It's either too weak to pip the outside of the shell, or it can't. It'll run out of air soon if I don't do something."
Flower gasped in fear.
