My son received a present from his party he went to the other day which was a dinosaur egg...
After being soaked in water for about 12 hours, the egg is supposed to crack and reveal a dinosaur that keeps on growing as long as it remains immersed in water...
48 hours with no activity plus a disappointed 3 year old resulted in my wife performing an emergency caesarian whilst my son wasn't watching by bashing it against the work top to "encourage" some cracks to appear.
Since then the dinosaur has continued to grow quite happily...

This is the very first batch of eggs we hatched in our new still air incubator. We started 30 eggs and ended up with 18 live chicks at the end, which we were pretty happy with for a first time.

We'll have books and posters for sale, and stickers & other fun freebies at a little booth thing.
Just starting to emerge from the tight cluster in the egg sac, these Garden spider spiderlings all followed each other in quick succession, climbing one of the threads of the web and disappearing into the ivy on the fence behind the everlasting pea plant to which they had been attached. Ipswich, Suffolk.
When I went out there, I noticed that two of the eggs had little cracks in them. I don't know if the babies are slowly cracking it from the inside with their beaks or if they are so big inside that the pressure is making the eggs crack. The cracks were there all day long - no change, but something HAS to be happening soon! I'm so excited.
Took me a while to figure out what was happening here, I think the orange ones are freshly hatched and have yet to harden the shells.

This is an extremely silly and highly enjoyable show...for children...of all ages. :-)
