...still more chicks hatching in the incubator. The one you hear peeping in this video is the one pipping its way along in the egg, not the fluffy one already hatched!
...and as expected, Eggbert is taking in all the incubator-hatched chicks just fine. 🧡
After about 25 hours of this little one's hard work, they take their first wobbly steps in the new world! They'll get to move in with the brood hen in the morning.
Still working!! 24 hours now and they've zipped almost halfway around! You can see them breathing in the video.
This is just so beautiful to me, even though I've seen it hundreds of times. This little tiny one has been working all night to get to a world they have never experienced. What a labour of faith in the future.

My fellow people of the United States, if I have anything to teach from what Minneapolis just lived through, it is this:

Nobody is coming to save us.

Not Congress. Not the courts. Not the ICC or the EU or NATO. Not the generals or the rank and file. Not the press. Not the markets. Not the elections. Not some mythical version of “The People” that materializes out of nowhere as some messianic external force.

We’re it. We’re all we’ve got. If we don’t stop fascism from completely engulfing the US, then nobody stops it.

How did I get the gift of such beautiful children?!! I love my daughter's Etsy shop so much. Her business of curating, cleaning, reviewing and repackaging good children's books emphasizes diversity, kindness & sustainability. Such a beautiful thing she's doing for the world! She has all her reviews up on Goodreads & on her website. It's too bad she has to use Goodreads, but at least she's adding another voice for ethical, thoughtful reading. 🧡

Didn’t realize this thread would turn out to be so long. Sorry.
