Radisson - 2012 / Ivy & Princess
Jo:
Princess was cuddled up to the chick pile . . . .breakfast delivered aprox 5:35
First 2 chicks where eating and 2 were just hanging out, playing it cool.
Then the 3rd chick (that looks like the smallest) decided to step up for some food.
Meanwhile the 4th chick was puttering around and picking a left overs.
It was very cute, he/she seemed to discover that if you hold the chunk of food with your feet, it's easier to gnaw away at it. It looked like the first time it happened, he/she just happened to be standing on it and gnawing at the same time - but then looked like chickie picked up on the concept.
Eventually # 4 went over to have some of what mom was serving up.
5:50 - back to a chick huddle against the wall. Princess removed the food & came back to join the kids.
It just started to rain out (coming down steady). Is 9c now with thunder showers and a high of 13 today.
7:00 - another breakfast :o
8:30 - post breakfast snack
ESP Chickita:
It's always great to hear reassuring words - thanks for that, it is just hard not to worry! It will be interesting to see if the littlest is a boy - looking forward to finding out more about these little royals.

Once the chicks are banded it may be easier to determine who is eating at what meal.
The exact dates/times are someplace, but I can't remember where I saw them - so just going back over the posts:
- the first 2 chicks hatched between midnight and 3am on Saturday May 12th
- the second hatched aprox 9am on the morning of Saturday, May 12th
- the 4th one hatched Sunday, May 13th aprox 4pm
It seems like they get bigger over night - so maybe the difference in size is just the hatch order.
Right now everyone is huddled in the chick pile.
