We have our first pip!!

Our first hatch may likely happen soon!! Astrid is shuffling the eggs and we have noticed what we believe is a pip. A pip is a small break in the egg that happens when the egg tooth of the chick inside hits the shell. The chick will use the egg tooth to “saw” its way out of the egg.
