peep!

Got home from seeing Harry Potter at the furniture store (again) to find that one of the two remaining eggs had hatched! Before we left, it had only pecked a couple dimples in the shell, several hours before we left, but there it was, trying to stand up and walk around in the incubator. The other egg isn't showing signs of immediate hatching, so we quickly set up the brooder (cardboard box with heat lamp) for this guy.





Both these pics are more color-neutral than they are in real life, in order to show more detail of the chick. The incubator is quite yellow, and the heat lamp in the brooder is extremely red.

And here I have to admit that I don't know nothing about editing video. 22 seconds, 5.8Mb: baby film, with incredibly loud peeps.
