So just 5 weeks or so. Amazing how fast they become adult looking.

I just checked my girl. I can see 2 shell halves that both look like the larger half of the egg after hatch, so I think the second hatched, but I’m not positive. I’ll check again in a bit, before I go to work.

I have just reached my hand under parent, palm down to protect squabs while lifting parent enough for a good look.

Can't wait to see mini satinettes when their feathers start to come in!

Ok I may try that. I do that with chicken hens all the time. I was afraid of upsetting her. Lol
