The third chick successfully hatched yesterday (23rd) . It is amazing how much they grow in a couple days. Look at the smaller chick, they are only two days apart! Storm is still laying eggs. I found another egg outside the nest today. I'm not sure if the younger chicks will make it. If Storm is still laying eggs there will be about twenty days between the older and younger chicks. Usually when there is this much time between chicks the youngest ones can't fight for their food like the oldest ones do. But I guess we will see.
