Nathan. 0 Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) BABY 3 IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so weird! He started hatching last night around 9pm...and at 6:30am when i woke up, he made no progress on hatching but was still crying away So i thought i should help him but had to eat brealfast first. So i did so, and made my lunch, then around 7:30am so about 45 min after i looked at him, hes FULLY OUT OF HIS SHELL!!!! Crawling around, and crying like a maniack! So within 45 minutes he completly hatched himself out I came home to find him fed somewhat i think. Until i went to give him some hand feeding food, and noticed black seed in his crop...and overall his crop is the same colour as the other babies...ulike the milk thats already in the crop when born. He wasnt exploding with food...but hes still very active, crying, and being kept warm, so i think as he gets bigger Belle will start feeding him/her more...like she did to the others Baby 1 is VERY dark already!! Pin feathers getting much longer every hour almost...and baby 2 is VERY quickly catching up to his older sibling Now, the newest baby #3 is the side of baby 1's head almost...so i hope he doesnt get trampled...

Nathan. 0 Posted September 27, 2006 Hey there! 3 more to hatch :D So i can have 6 babies as a maximum..if all hatch safe, are all feed, and kept warm Baby 3 (but egg #5 so far)...is being fed well..and is not being abused (trampled) on by his fellow HUGE siblings so it makes me happy Kirby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan. 0 Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) Yupperss!!! Tons! I must take some tomrrow...of new baby and to show how fast others are growing HUGE before my eyes Ive decided on the names: Lucky for baby 1 as i didnt know if Belle would feed him or not, Sammy for baby 2 becuase shes so peaceful and its a unisex name, and Grace for baby 3 becuase its adorable ands shes so tini!!!! I think..for now (Laughing out loud)... (I have a feeling oldest baby is a male, and baby 2 and 3 are females...) Lets see if im right (Laughing out loud) Kirby Edited September 28, 2006 by Kirby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenene283 0 Posted October 1, 2006 Hi Kirby, I know this might be a bit "off topic". If you dont mind me asking what do you mean when you say you are going to your cottage? Just curious! Funny how we use different terms depending what country we live in! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elly 0 Posted October 1, 2006 Here in the US a cottage is a vacation or weekend like spot that someone may have a cabin at so cottage and cabin are alike. My uncle used to have a cottage at Marblehead that he owned/or rented/or time shared not sure which one (Laughing out loud) that he would take his kids for fun. Hope that makes sense and Kirby will probably explain more what his place is like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 0 Posted October 1, 2006 Can't wait til you get home so we can have an update on your bubs. The crop in the first picture (link) is buldging. So cute! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nathan. 0 Posted October 1, 2006 Thanks guys!!! Im back home now...with 2 new goldfish ... (Laughing out loud) So...i went into nest box..and i thought my mom got me a new baby because when i lifted up the door..all i saw was a HUGE fuzzy thing pressed against the glass! It was Lucky who is now a MONSTER and has white downy and blue colouring coming in. I only saw 4 babies,a nd the 2 eggs..so i thought maybe baby 5 wasnt going to hatch. Until i looked into the nest 10 minutes later and found 5 babies! So, i now have 5 babies, and i will take pics soon for you all to enjoy Sammy (2nd baby) is huge now to..and blue is coming in fast Baby 4 is still teeny tiny..but gettin bigger like others Im off to go take some piccies for you n ow... brb HAHA Shawna! Thats nothing! You should see them when they are freshly fed! Hes normally twice that size But at this stage in growing they all feel like a toad so it grosses me out like CRAZY!!! YUCK!!! I cannot wait until they start feeling like birds so ill enjoy holding them...meanwhile now i dread touching them (Laughing out loud) Kirby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baby 5 still isnt being fed...but hes only been hatched for 3 hours so im not panicking...yet...
