The Mystery Egg Hatched!!!

Right before lunch on Thursday, some students noticed a small crack in our mystery egg. We immediately removed the egg turner (the egg wasn't due to hatch for another 3 days). I moved the egg to the smaller incubator with the great window and we watched it wiggle as it tried to hatch. Some of us could even hear some "peeping" from inside the egg. Hatching takes many hours and it hadn't made much progress before the kids went home. I returned at 9:15 before bed and still not much progress had been made.
But when I returned this morning, I found this little wet chick! It looks like it hatched around 6:00 this morning!

This little chick is so alert and LOUD! But hatching is hard work and it has been sleeping a lot today! Later today when it is dry and fluffy, we will transfer it to Charlie's box.

Now to figure out WHAT this chick is! Can't wait for the Kindergarteners to return on Monday to help solve the mystery!
