3 babies hatched as of this morning!!...Pictures sure don't turn out through the plastic window....I am not going to try again until I pull babies out....The parents are getting a little excited when I take pictures, so I will have to be more patient!!....Photos will come, I promise!

Update!!....I pulled the first 2 babies this afternoon....I thought the other day when I did a nest check that only 4 of the 6 babies survived...I was thinking that they only wanted to take care of the 4 even though 5 hatched and I had 6 fertile eggs...I was sad to think I could of pulled babies sooner and maybe had all 6 survive...WELL....I pulled 2 and 4 little heads popped up in the nest!!....I have 6 chicks!!....The little one has been fed and will do better now that the larger 2 are out of the nest!!....What a pleasant surprise!!
