2009 Babies............


are starting to arrive. My first one hatched today. I was able to sneak a peak and saw the baby between the egg shell halves........looked to be still wet, so hadn't been in this world long. I didn't try to mess with it........Dad was MAD!!!!!!! Got two more that should hatch tomorrow and 2 the next day and I don't remember after that..........
We also got the 2009 bands today so we're in business...........

Well, seeing how the baby will only be 5 days old on the 1st, I don't think I'll be "cheating" and banding BEFORE the new year.........

Here's some pictures of the little one.....well, this is part of the shell that he came out of.



And, here he is.........you can see the other egg starting to crack open.

I've gotten down to 12 pairs of breeders for this year. One pair decided to nest on the floor. I haven't quite decided whether to let her raise the babies or not. In the back of my mind, I KNOW, that babies in the floor is not a good idea, but to switch her eggs with another pair and give her dummies, would mean getting rid of a pair that are off of good birds. This nest dweller is a good bird.......I've only got 2 pair that I could possibly switch the eggs with, so I'm sort of torn as to what to do.
All 12 pair of mine are on eggs.........so we're in business.

Did you get your bands from the club or from commercial stores (Jeds)?

From the IF. The whole order for our club came to me because I'm the race secretary. They won't get passed out to member until Jan 1st or later.

The babies would be fine while the parents are sitting on them, but I'm afraid once the babies get a couple of weeks old and are left alone, that one of the other cocks might beat up on the babies, and I can't possibly watch them all day every day. THEN, when they start getting out of the bowl and roaming around, I don't have any way to stop them from wondering the whole floor of the loft. I've never had a baby scalped in my loft and I sure don't want that to happen now.
