In Awe


Well, the fifth baby hatched at about 4am this morning. Here is it's newborn picture at about 7am:


Then, here are some amazing pics of the babies at almost 10pm tonight. Look at how much they have grown. The first one hatched a week ago. And his little fuzzy feathers are starting to get dark and I would say he is 3-4 times larger than the one that hatched today.
This is just amazing!


Here is a little movie of them in the nesting box tonight at about 10pm. It is a bit dark, but I didn't want to disturb them with too much light. And at least you get to hear them. Things are still mainly quiet, but I'm sure if they 'talk' like their parents... it won't be long before it is way noisy here.

Do you need to watch carefully to ensure that the youngest smallest chicks enough food since they are competing with much larger chicks?
