That's great news, gran! Interesting background info about their names.

[gran2496]

Our chicks were banded today, a girl called Laura and a boy (they think) named Brock.  The names were chosen in honour of the Bicentennial of the Battle of Stoney Creek during the war of 1812.  Both chicks appear healthy and should be ready to try out their wings in about two weeks.

I'm also glad the second chick is doing well.  I love your screenshots RCF, especially the middle one where it looks like the little one is looking up at it's older brother/sister.

[Kinderchick]

Wow! What a difference in size between these 2 chicks. Amazing the difference a few days makes. I'm glad to hear the "little one" is doing well.

[RCF]

I think there was at least 4 or 5 days between the two hatches, but it looks like the smaller one is doing very well.

Looks like the last 2 eggs won't be viable so we have two chicks this year hatched a week apart.  Banding will take place on June 18.

!!! Second Hatch for Madame X and Surge!!
May 31, 2013 - Hamilton - Sheraton Hotel

Kathy Reports:

What exciting news for Madame X and Surge and all the Hamilton fans!!  A second egg has hatched overnight!

There was almost 3 days between the laying of Egg 1 and 2 and the weather being damp and wet, full on incubation likely started earlier than usual hence the delay between egg hatching..that’s the story I’m going with!    

Congratulations Hamilton!!!

We've had a second hatch in Hamilton, and possibly the third on the way.

[gran2496]

Ah, there he is, thanks for the screen capture RCF.

It looks like we have a hatch in Hamilton.  There's a broken shell, but Madam X hasn't shown her new baby yet.

[RCF]

   Thanks gran2496!!

[gran2496]

We now have four eggs for Madame X and Surge, hopefully we'll have four new hatches in another month or so.

Three eggs now; third laid at 9:00 this morning.
