She airs the eggs and loosens the nesting material, does ps.



I think the egg was heard twice briefly.

12:09 Loud egg talk
Kerli airs the eggs.



There is nothing to see. But perhaps the chick is already fighting its way out of the rest of the egg. In any case,
the pip hole is already a crack hole.
