Getting to the end of hatching

Posted by Bridget Wheeler on Tuesday, March 29, 2011,
Willow and Violet have a little surprise for me. Their first chick opened her eyes and they are red! Since Willow isn't split for ino Violet must have bred with either Zeus or Otis before I put her in the breeding cage. Because of the way albino works the chick must be a female. Now I'm not sure if the second chick is Willow's or not I guess time may tell.

Little cheeps

Posted by Bridget Wheeler on Friday, March 18, 2011,
Two little chicks have hatched so far. Prince and Stella and Dusty and Bell are four very proud parents. The egg count is up to 27 all together and I think it's going to stay that way. Now we wait for the little chicks to hatch.
 
Willow and Violet's egg count is five. No chicks yet.
