IT HATCHED!!!

Post by KNG5 » Thu Jun 28, 2007 1:17 pm

Ahh you guys I'm so happy! After around 21 days of incubation, one of the Gouldian eggs has finally hatched!! So far, there has been no sort of chick-tossing, so hopefully my birds will be good first-time parents! :lol:

Congratulations.

Nice looking pair.

Hopefully soon you'll be able to get photos of them with crusty dried puke all over their beaks from feeding the babies, like so:

Ok, so right now I've got 3 baby zebs and 3 baby goulds. They are all doing very well! Both the zebs and goulds are first-time parents and have been so good to their chicks!
