Senica and Silas first chick has hatched today! They have 5 other fertile eggs, but the days they were laid was spaced somewhat so the days between hatches will be larger. Depending on how big, I might foster some of chicks to other nests just to make things more even for them with Senica being a first time momma. She is doing a great job so far though!
I have been conditioning a new pair (Myra and Quinlin) for the last few weeks and gave them a nest box a couple of days back as they are both well bonded and all ready to go! This will be the first clutch for both of them, so lets see what happens! Myra is starting to show a little egg bum, so the first one should not be too far off.
