Any Day for The Cubans!!

This is day eleven.
Both hens have been on and off the nests all day.
I fed them some egg food at 4:30pm, and they ate
and went back to the nests.
Ten minutes later off again, ate alittle more and back again.
They have been doing that all day.
The one hen in the lower cage, I could see her head moving around.
So she either has a baby and is feeding, or turning the eggs.
It's hard say when they really started to sit?
I think on the 8th, but it could be sooner.
So there could be ababy in there?
Fingers crossed!!

Thanks everyone!
Something has to be happening this morning as the males keep going to the front of the nest baskets and keep looking in on the hens. Its as they keep asking, ANYTHING YET?

I think Romeo and Julieta have. some young.
She goes in and out a lot to eat.
Alejandro and Evita are still on the nest but want to bath a lot.
I don't want to bother them and look in.
I think all is well.

It's busy in there!
I just gave them some fresh egg food and
some apple and seeds.
Males are helping out also, so looks good!
