A chick hatched overnight!

 Yesterday we noticed that one of the eggs had a little hole in it. A chick was trying to peck its way out from inside. We were really surprised, because it was only Day 20 since we put the eggs in the incubator (hens' eggs take 21 days to hatch).

Nothing else had happened by the time we had to go home, so we set up the ipads on time-lapse to film the incubator overnight, and this is what happened...

Here is a picture of the chick:

It wasn't even the chick from the egg that had the first hole in it! This is an Orpington chick. We know this because this egg had an 'O' written on it by man who sold the eggs. The other type of egg we have is Speckled Sussex. We can tell which ones they are because they have 'SS' written on them.
