The Ostrich lays the biggest egg in the Farmyard, and she knows it. Hers is the Farmyard's boss egg: the fifth and last of the stage, with a thick shell that takes five cracks instead of three.
Laying her egg: “Ahem.”
Once it's laid: “Ta-da!”
A baby's first words: “I'm free!”
The six Ostrich babies
Every species in Perfect Crack has six Hatchery Babies: the everyday baby you meet first, four rare colours (Frost, Shadow, Golden and Rainbow, from sparkly and Rainbow eggs) and the Champion, won from the Champion egg in your scored Daily Challenge. Once freed, they live in your Farmyard habitat for good. In the game, tap a baby in its habitat on three different days to become friends and hear its secret.
Babies you haven't found in the game yet are hidden. Tap one to peek, or .

Ozzy
Ostrich · Common
Curious
Favourite activity: Peeking over the farm fence
Ozzy is tall enough to see over the farm fence, and he can't stop wondering what's on the other side. He spends hours peering down the path towards Jungle River, asking every passing Keeper where they've been and what they saw.
“Tall, curious and already halfway to the next kingdom in his head.”
Secret: He's planning a trip round all Five Kingdoms and has packed a very small bag.

Twiggy
Frost Ostrich · Uncommon · Carries the mark of the Great Frost
Shy
Favourite activity: Hiding her head in the hay
Twiggy's long legs are frosted silver-blue. When she feels shy, which is often, she pops her head into the hay bale and hopes nobody can see her. Everybody can. Nobody says so.
“Hides in plain sight. We all pretend not to notice. It's only polite.”
Secret: She has the sharpest eyes on the farm and sees everything from inside that hay.

Nibbles
Shadow Ostrich · Rare · Carries the mark of the Great Eclipse
Mischievous
Favourite activity: Nibbling the scarecrow's hat
Nibbles likes to nibble things that aren't food: buttons, laces and especially the scarecrow's hat. Whenever something goes missing on the farm, everyone looks at Nibbles. Nibbles looks at the sky and whistles.
“If it's gone missing, check Nibbles first.”
Secret: He keeps everything he nibbles in a neat pile behind the barn and gives it all back on birthdays.

Rocket
Golden Ostrich · Super rare · Carries the mark of the Golden Dawn
Brave
Favourite activity: Racing anyone, any time
Rocket was running before he'd finished stepping out of his shell. He's the fastest baby in the Farmyard and will race anyone, any time. Win or lose, he's always ready for another go.
“Golden legs, golden heart. Rocket, please stop racing the post.”
Secret: He lets the smallest babies win, and he has never once told them.

Dash
Rainbow Ostrich · Ultra rare · Carries the mark of the Great Rainbow
Playful
Favourite activity: Zig-zag sprints round the orchard
Dash runs in zig-zags because straight lines are boring. She leaves a shimmer of colour wherever she sprints round the orchard, and the younger babies love to follow her trail.
“Not one for straight lines, our Dash.”
Secret: She has worked out a zig-zag that passes every apple tree in the orchard exactly once.

Tumble
Champion Ostrich · Champion · Won at the Hatchery Show
Clumsy
Favourite activity: Long legs, big tumbles
Tumble is very proud of his long legs, even though they don't always do what they're told. He trips, stumbles and folds up like a deckchair at least once a day, then springs back up as if he meant to.
“Falls over more gracefully than most of us stand up.”
Secret: He's learning to dance, and he's actually rather good.
Did you know? Ostriches lay the largest eggs of any living bird, and they are the fastest birds on land.
