Thank you all for your clues, a excellent selection with lots of kinds of hatches. With 4 votes, rossim is our clear winner with the very neat and apposite:

Just like that, chickens emerge (5)

Well done. Is that the first time you've won?
Mattrom also got 4 votes but over 3 clues. Is this a record?

I haven't awarded a twee film of chicks hatching, but I like this, especially for the background music-

It is anything but twee.
The real prize is something different-

Thank you mattrom, for the links. My favourite melody of all time, even allowing for Beethoven's 7th!

Congratulations Rossim
Cheers Rosalind

Congrats to rossim, thanks to rosalind for hosting and to bbm2 for the vote.

Wow! I knew I'd received a couple of votes earlier today but expected to be overtaken by the time I came home this evening. There were some excellent clues.

I have won before Rosalind but that was Number 70 in April 2013, so this has been a long time coming!
Thank you for your votes Claxby, ChrisE, Rmleake and Hankir.

Thanks for hosting and for the clips Rosalind. I bought the haunting Stranger on the Shore in 1962 and it was one of the few of my records that my parents liked!

See you all next Thursday.
