7;47pm..........Ma is restless........understandably so. She is up again.........that chick is nearly hatched.........we are seeing lots of its body, but it isn't out of the shell yet.

This is the hole on the second egg.

8:00pm......Surely that chick will be out of the shell tonight............the shell is just hanging by a thread I'm sure............Ma showed us the very active chick.............and she rolled it, making the shell fall apart even more. We can see the hole in the other egg too.............and I think maybe the beak of the second chick sticking out.

8:02pm...........One more good roll might do it.........that chick is so close to being free from the shell.

Could this be the beak of the other chick on the second egg?

Karen, what do you think? Still not officially a hatch? It looked free to me but the shell seemed to settle back over it once everything stopped moving.
