We're talking biological debris here, not your garden variety roadside rubble and ruins. Cellular-type debris, damaged or dead tissue, over and above extracellular artifacts on a badly prepared slide. So what is "hatch debris," exactly? Baby birds hatch from an egg, so it must be the remains of the egg shell in the nest, maybe some tiny feathers, and a bit of albumen goo.
Yeah, that stuff. Icky, but that’s birthing—somebody’s bound to get dirty.
"Hatch debris," as it turns out, is a bit more involved. It’s bigger than a piece of broken shell. It has wings that twitch under those downy feathers and tiny toes that curl. It breathes and peeps and blinks.
