Tah dahhhhhhhh!!! I have 2 lil PeaChickies now, as of about 8:30AM today
This new lil guy need a little help with his toes getting taped straight for a few hours and is still a little a little wobbly/weak on it's feet and not as outgoing/curious/active as the first chick is yet, but seems to be doing ok. I gave them some GrowGel and that seems to be helping the new chick perk up and gain some strength. I'm so relieved that it hatched tho! (Even if it doesn't look too thrilled about the photo op, lol).
As you can see this one's quite a bit darker and just has a couple white flights on each wing, but what a difference between the 2... is the lighter one possibly something else besides a Pied IB? This is all new to me, so I'm clueless
I have 4 more PF eggs due to hatch Tues or Wed, then 3 more the week after, then 4 more... the ol Biddy Peahen may stop laying soon, if she has not already decided if she's done for a while (I'll find out tonight or tomorrow night if I don't get any more eggs).
