Rolling Pipped/Egg Egg Tooth Showing 🐣 04/07/23 08:22

While Ellie is rolling her eggs, we get a quick glimpse at the pip on her egg. The hole has gotten larger compared to the last sighting. Directly above the hole in the egg is a bright white spot. Most likely this is the first sighting of the owlet's Egg Tooth. A hard tooth-like projection at the top and end of the beak. Used to cut through the membrane and break apart the shee so the owlet can hatch. It will fall off in about 7-14 days from hatching.
