All babies are sleepy, I guess. This was probably the best kind of “content” with which to begin a day.

Not me watching enraptured, not wanting it to end (in a good way). Yay, Freshy!

Seeing freshy hatch made me relate differently to the rebirth I’m going through now, in the wake of my father’s passing. (Re)Emerging can be arduous and funny and exhausting…Thank you for sharing!!!!

This was so cool! Thanks for sharing -- I'd never seen a chick hatching before, and the way they fall asleep every five seconds is hilarious. Welcome Freshy!

I loved y'all's talk at Literary Arts last night. Thank you for that delightful conversation. The whole tightrope thing and not being able to stop oneself at the rough stage while working on a "draft" was so relatable I was laughing so hard there were tears. I looked just like this 🤣.

So fun! We hatched four chickens in 2019 and we still have one of the original hatchlings. She's still laying beautiful olive green eggs and once, when she was very broody, we purchased a few day-old chicks to slide under her and she raised them like a champion. Chickens are the best!

Loved it and not at all gross, and they imprint so readily.... are they 'pets' now'? I once gave mouth to mouth to an unconscious duckling (some called that gross) and saved two others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZEmt9oqskI

That chickee being born was absolutely EXCELLENT! With the other two muppets falling asleep all over it... just delightful. Thank you!

Who could this not be their cup of tea? This is amazing. It makes me feel a little better about my own hard work leading to disorientation.

Ha ha! I don't know. But I remember once, years ago, I live streamed a chick hatching on IG and more than one person was totally disgusted.

New chicks are the best. So cute! For some reason, even though I’ve been subscribed for years, this one didn’t show up in my email or my inbox. So weird! Anyway I’m glad I found it. I hadn’t watched chicks hatching in a long time. Welcome, Freshy!

It just showed up! Hopefully that fixes it for everyone. Thank you!

Oh dear. I had a feeling that this didn’t get mailed for some reason. I just tried resending it. Let me know if you got it.

I clicked on this post because I thought Jon had a new nickname, "Freshy Meloy."
