I have had eggs where the chick started to develop and then died at some point for whatever reason (and there are lots and lots of reasons it can happen).
The frist baby was born today!! (14th September) omg I’m so relieved! I was worried sick and I was extremely sad! But now hopefully the other eggs also hatch successfully
This is amazing news can we have a picture of little baby or is it best not to stress mum and da probably thinking about it but can’t wait for pictures when they are a bit bigger here’s fingers crossed to other eggs hatching so happy for you
Thank you!!
The dutch blue is Mom and the wild type is dad
Me too! Let’s cross our fingers and hope the other 3 are healthy and hatch successfully!We can wait for pictures. We don't want the momma bird getting upset and stressed out
So happy you waited and didn't destroy the eggs. Congratulations
Fingers, toes, legs, and eyes are crossed for you. Arms too. Lol
1-3 days apart from each other!
The second one was born today!! (15.September) here are pics!
Oh wow that's wonderful news!!!
Great news. They are very cute. You may want to add a little bit more shavings to the nest box if you don't think it will upset or stress mom and dad or did mom/dad throw some of that out.
I've filled it up two times and the mom didn't like that so I stopped, she's also very sensitive and will abandon them if I bother her too much so I've decided to let them be and check on them twice a week to make sure they are ok and there's nothing wrong with the legs, the bottom isn't that slippery so they should be ok
Just a little mini update: both chicks are doing extremely well! But I did notice that one of them where making these loud noises almost sounded like a high pitched human cough, did the baby get food in the air pipe when eating from Mom or is it just him calling for food?
Don't leave it. Do something about it. It is an easy fix.
