Chick Two

Posted on Saturday, July 25th, 2009 at 4:38 pm

The second chick has hatched. Mom isn’t particularly happy. The only assistance I gave was to enlarge the initial crack in the egg shell. I did that because the chick was screaming inside. A screaming chick in the shell is not a good sign. Enlarging a breathing hole would give the chick oxygen while it finished the job. I’ve got to go feed them now.

    Jen: Can you take a cage to the office tomorrow. The older birds are ready to fledge and jumping on the younger ones. I think I’m losing the youngest. David
