Well I don't exactly take them by hand, I just open the gate. We live close to the woods. They follow me, I´m their "father" afterall...:D
Sometimes they stop somewhere even if i continue walking and if they don't see me, they start calling me. Then I whistle back or clap and they come running...
First chick hatched on Monday (49th day of incubation!!), last one yesterday.I took the picture today in the morning.
I did eggtopsies of the unhatched ones earlier today a both eggs were really unfertilized.
Thank you all for congratulations! I hope our weather will get better soon, so I can...
Sorry guys, I don't have much time to make own thread or posting videos since I currently do a serie of night shifts at work.
But today, I've heard chirping:celebrate from both sets of eggs, so I hope everything is allright with them.:)
Thak you all for your kind replies!
