addendeum: in the first few days of the new chicks life.

One of the remaining eggs has a pip in it, can't see the other one.

Interesting to note the difference between the Radisson pair and the McKenzie Seeds pair.  Hurricane lets Brooklyn come and babysit, and yet Princess is more possessive and doesn't let Ivy do as much.

Hurricane took a break, so Brooklyn was in babysitting. ♥

Looks like another egg is going to hatch, saw a big pip in it.

Two hours after hatch and the chick is still wet ... when dry it will take another hour before chick is fully fuzzy = the feathers don't just have to be dry but fluffed up as well (think towel dried on a clothesline and towel out of a dryer, both are dry but one is a bit more fluffed up).

And Brandon's first chick had its first "davenport" moment at 1443h ...

I just watched the new chick have poop shot.

New arrival seems to keep interupting poor Hurricane as she is trying to nap.

I watched Hurricane chewing on the shell and it would spin around each time she bit it, so maybe that's why it looks crumpled. 

Definitely possible ... going to keep an eye on the next eggshells - so long as the little darlings don't decide to arrive at night ...
