Ah... I imagine you are right about that, jadoo... Also, interesting "tidbit" about how Joplin, Missouri got it's name, Elaine. I didn't know that either.
As for Phoebe, her 2nd chick hatched this morning between 10:30 & 11:00 AM. The Kinderchicklets were watcing and were very excited to see this event. About a half hour before the hatch, we could even see the baby chick moving around inside the egg. It was VERY cool! ;D 8)
Elaine L:
Just an additional tidbit of information about the name Joplin, while we are on the subject. I thought Joplin, Missouri was named after the ragtime composer Scott Joplin, who hailed from Missouri, but apparently not; Joplin, the town, is named after the Reverend Joplin, a Methodist minister who settled in the area.
