Remember, today is only day 18? Pretty early for any to be hatching actually, although it does happen occasionally. So you've got all weekend to get through!There will probably be one, and hopefully a really good one!

Right?! I did NOT expect it to be go time so soon. But since this egg is pipped, it can't sit there and complain, that's my job!
I use zip ties / tie wraps / cable ties (whatever you want to call them) to identify certain chicks and/or ducklings.If I can tell them apart when they grow up, those will be awesome names
I do the same for my adult breeding birds ( I have a rather lengthy post up on my Tsouloufati thread if anyone's interested
) but I don't know if I feel comfortable doing it with tiny chicks. They grow too fast, and I'm too much of a worrier, so I'll be constantly changing them. @aart has a great article on it though
By the way, speaking about articles, I've read your article on grieving birds TwoCrows, it was heartwarming and sad at the same time! I really loved it. I just haven't found anything really "constructive" that I could leave a review on. It'll just me me saying that I loved it. So in case I never write that review, just know I loved it
Your egg baby right now, no interest in coming out....
It'll be just like me when I don't want to move from the couch

Many people don't believe birds mourn the loss of flock mates but they do!
This was my very first hatch of Quail, over a decade ago...It'll be just like me when I don't want to move from the couch
Thank you!
I believe so too. It's partly why it makes me so sad to know that Kolovos won't be here for much longer. It also makes me sad to think about the bantam girls losing Napoleon. Cruella wasn't too close to him, though she definitely experienced some grief, but I know Ursula felt it deeper. She was really close with him
