This series of photos were taken from Monday morning until Tuesday evening. It had first pipped on Sunday.
The hatchling first sticks out it's nose and breathes directly for about a day and a half.
Then it turns in the egg. Eventually the egg is opened all the way around.
They usually sleep for a while before wandering out of the egg.
It doesn't always happen in that way but usually it does.
