Eggciting! 🐤 It's day 16 of incubation and our chicks are due to hatch soon. Most of the egg is now filled with the chick and yolk, which will be used for nutrients. The chick will hatch by pushing its beak through the bottom of the egg so it can breathe on its own. Stay tuned!


Wrapped in yellow and standing strong for our military members and children. Your bravery shines bright! ⭐️
