I'll try to get some pics later, but just as an update:
Pebbles is doing really well and has now reached the annoying constant chirping stage. He's feathering in really nicely with great feathers coming in on his wings, drumsticks, neck and back. No idea on gender yet, but his mommy is doing a...
Well shoot.
I woke up early this morning, hoping for a day 21 full of fluffy surprises, I was greeted with a nest that had; One lil fluffball, who was happy to see me (I think his mum told him that I'm the giver of mealworms, which he loves) Two eggs (that hadn't pipped) and a dead chick, that...
I discarded another egg that sounded watery, turns it was another yolker.
Anyway, time for chickie pictures!
There you go!

Okay, so one chick is reserved to be named by my little sister. So, aside from her chick. I have decided to take names for my eggs.
Just quote my post or mention me, to have a chick named by you (my notifications for the HAL thread are a bit messed up).
I'll write your username on the egg, and...
