Isn't this interesting! I don't know what I expected but it looks so "grown up". Cool picture... #998941

Thanks Bonnie, it is definitely not like chick or ducklings hatching. They are ready to go once they come out complete with little teeth. Luckily they don't really have the strength to bite down too hard yet. I will be posting a couple more of these showing the hatching and first few moments after.
