incubator and eggs ... daily update

[lynda66]

I've got the coop and riun that will be for when they are big enough to go in with the big girls.
A freecycled rabbit hutch and attached run would be perfect for when they are little. Get quite a few offered on my group.

Hello Buttercup, you're just sooooooooooooooooooooo cute and cuddly and I hope you're a little girl but if you're a boy you're still nice.

How's the other eggs doing Lynda? Any signs of anything?

[lynda66]

[moggssue]

Ohhhh, theyre alllll just sooooo adorable!!! Well done you, perserverance and all that (so should one be called Percy and one Verance?!).

I take it the one who was a bit wobbly yesterday teatime is fine now? (Sorry, too lazy to go back over the thread to see what his name is, the second one born?!)

[lynda66]

the second one phoenix has just had a drink, and is pecking everything in sight, i was a bit worried about her yesterday, but she seems fine now, they are all starting to walk much better now their feet have straightened out, i', gonna put some shavings in the playpen in a minute and let them have a wander around in there give em space to explore

[moggssue]

O good, I'm glad she/he's fine now hon, especially after being jumped all over by Pingu! Do you think six is it now, or is there still hope for some more?

[lynda66]

fullily enough pingu is still jumping on everyones heads lol

i'm not giving up yet, cos theres still a chance they could just be late, the eggs went into the incubator at 5pm, so they aren't even 24 hours overdue yet
