Exciting news!! Franny has successfully hatched 1 of her 3 eggs...here's to hopefully the others hatching in the next few days. Also Willow laid her first two eggs. Hopefully I can get some chick photos soon, but she is set too far back right now.
Typically they would use the anesthetic gas normally used for general surgeries. Due to the way that birds lungs work, that can be enough for euthanasia. The most commonly used anesthetic is Isoflurane, but specialty vets may use a different one. Most of the birds I've seen this applied to go...
Finally some photos. Let's ignore the fact that I am supposed to be sleeping right now.

Franny doing her thing
We just had a winter heat wave. I've had my windows open for the last 3 days because the temps have been in the 70's. It is currently 69 degree with a low of 65 overnight.
This last heat wave was throwing me for a loop. I kept going outside and Franny was out and about. She is supposed to be sitting on three eggs.... She seems to go back fairly quickly, so hopefully there won't be any issues. I notice them being moved around a bit when I do quick checks on them...
