Update (V1.1): I’ve set a timer on my phone for every 3 hours. Turning Pip has become part of my routine—I feel like a tiny farmer! I heard a soft pip-pip sound today! Not from a bird, but from inside the shell. I held my breath and shone the flashlight at the egg—there’s a pinprick-sized hole! Pip is trying to hatch. But then… nothing. She stopped.
