They are real cuties.
I wish you luck with the Owl eggs and Zebra foster Mom. I hope she hatches them for you, and that she will feed as well.

Just a heads up, owl chicks feed totally different then zebra so you might want to go get some handfeeding formula just in case you need to step in. Having handfeeding formula is always a good idea if your going to be breeding birds, it keeps well in the freezer.
best of luck please keep us posted
