Growing babies.


This is Mom with her 8 day old. She WAS off the nest and I RAN to get the camera, but she must have known I was coming back.........she got on the nest before I could get back.



These are 7 days old.

I had the same thing happen to me the other day. I had a nest and a baby was breaking out of it shell when I fed and watered my individual cages. The parents got off and I ran to get the video camera and they were covering them back up when I got back. It is soo cool to see a baby coming out of it's shell.

I really like those little splash headed beaks they got , makes it that much more exciting to see how much white they are gonna have on them
On the eggcitment on seeing them hatch I once went into grab some eggs that I thought were not going to hatch being as they went into overtime ...but when I grabbed the one egg Im not sure if I squeezed it to hard or if it was already pipped a little ,but litterally out popped this little gooey baby bird like a shot, I was like ahhhhh OMG I was in shock but the baby was fully formed and thankgod it didnt bleed out and everything turned out ok ,it was a miracle ..the end

Ummmm .. I think we're all keepin' our babies up too late!


What's with all these sleepy looking babies? My two were like that, and if you look at these new pics in this thread .. all the kids look like they are wanting to snooze right off .. I think we got some very bad pigeon grand-parenting going on here .. too much TV or something for the kids and grandkids! Let's shape up here folks, and let those little ones get the sleep they need!

You KNOW I'm just kidding!

Got some new pics this morning. This first one is the hen, who in spite of ALL I did, decided she HAD to nest in the floor. So, Everett built a little wall like thing so they would have some privacy. Her eggs hatched yesterday.........I'm a little nervous about having babies in the floor......guess we'll see how it goes.


This little one is 10 days old today.


These guys are 9 days old.

Well it's definitely cuteness overload, and I bet the sound of peeping in your loft is alot of music to your ears.

God bless you and Everett for accomodating the hen on the floor, just keep a close eye on the little ones, they will probably be fine. Wait until they start wandering out of the nest...then you will need to keep closer eye out.

You done good!!!
I had my OB's on open loft for about a month, but a hawk got one of my 3 year old hens. That's the first OB I've ever had taken by a hawk.
I split them up and have them locked down for a while now. I won't be raising babies off of them this year like I usually do, so there's no need for me to get in a BIG hurry about getting them in shape for OB's (if we even fly OB's).........
