Soon I was humming without even thinking about it, because when I was around my eggs, I was happy.
I read The Beginner’s Guide to Raising Chickens cover to cover twice.
For my project I drew diagrams of the various stages of an embryo’s development, I made a giant chicken poster,
I graphed the daily fluctuations in temperature and humidity, and I made a line chart documenting the weight loss of each egg.
On the outside eggs were boring, but I knew what was happening on the inside!
Then two days before the science fair I was candling Bonnie when I noticed something.
I called my dad into my room and said, “Look, Dad! Look at this! Is that the heart beating?”
He studied it for a moment, then smiled and said, “Let me get your mother.”
So the three of us crowded around and watched Bonnie’s heart beat, and even my mother had to admit that it was absolutely amazing.
Clyde was the first to pip, and of course he did it right before I had to leave for school.
His little beak cracked through, and while I held my breath and waited, he rested. And rested.
Finally his beak poked through again, but almost right away, he rested again.
