Well, Dave, you are on the right track....should I tell you which one of your ideas is on the right track? Okay
Arts or crafts........
You said, "Something to help crack the egg as the hatchling struggles to emerge? " LOL! Actually, they have to do that job by themselves...takes them about 8 to up to 18 hours once they make the first "pip" crack....poor babies....life is hard! You should not help them, as they are still absorbing the rest of the yolk during this time. They need that in their body to be a healthy chick!! Mother Nature is remarkable!!
