Hey everyone!
I incubated some eggs this year but decided to let them sit and on May 31st I noticed a lot of this:
So I investigated and found this:
She had 7 eggs to start but lost one in a fight over the nest with the other female. She now has her own nest with 6 eggs...
The 4 hatched then... when I thought all was finished I discovered another one:
I guess the last egg is a dud?
Becky, the mom did not continue caring for the 5th and I noticed her legs looked like what I've heard people call it splayed or spraddle leg or something so I looked up the condition best I could and tied the hobble on her legs.
I believe there are 4 girls and one boy based on them being half-pilgrim and only one shows the light colors and orange feet. The others are darker. Mom is embden.
