Okay, day 26! (some pics!)

AW!!! It's a cute little baby! (Now, if only it would stop trying to walk towards the light!) I didn't think about the chick getting too close tot he lightbulb before, but since it was tumbling towards it, we cut up some more hardware wire and put it around the bulb

Thanks guys!!

Congrats Zim,

I know how worried you have been.
Isn't the first one out such a relief? Good idea covering the light bulb with wire.
Keep us posted.

I got home from school- AND THE SECOND PIP HATCHED, LIKE, 5 MINUTES BEFORE I GOT HERE!

Now the fluffier one is like, climbing over the eggs with no problem, and the little one can barely lift it's head

Have to put an uipadted pic!!

AWWWWW!!!

There's the /tiiiniest/ pip in a third one!!

 

[zimmy]

The big chick is almost fully fluffed... I wanna name 'him' Martini /soooo/ bad, but-HA! SPEAKING OF!

My aunt's office is having a poll on chick names, the winner gets a bag of robin eggs XP Those are goooooood. Martini's one of them

The big guy keeps pecking at the little guy too mcuh, and there's still the little, barely-pipped egg... I think I', gunna try to handel the big guy, if he goes off his bonkers, I'll leave him in there longer. If not? -washes off marbles for waterer-
