Chick uses a special "tooth" on the beak to chip away at the egg in a full circle then starts pushing>> |
The specialized "Tooth" on the upper mandable gradually smooths out into a normal looking beak. |

The chick needs to make the effort to hatch on its own
to be healthy. Sometimes a breeder needs to assist and is successful
but it can be risky business. |
By the time it's all over, the chick is tuckered out but
soon will be eating well prepaired food. |
