Junttila BIRD FEEDER CAM is broadcasting !!

Today it's the first time I see this cam! A real joy!
Is this young chicken dancing and looking at us??

yes,this chick have its first disco!!!

hi,caysa,please,will you put cam on?

I am back home now and I see that the cam had gone offline. I am booting my PC and then I will connect the cam again.
The first chick is doing great, it is soon almost dry. It is chirping which is good, it will activate the others. The second egg/chick I am worried about. It has made a hole and is alive but I can see a lot of blood. It seems that the blood vessels that are in the membrane are not closed off yet but the chick still tries to hatch. I cannot do much except wait and hope.
The third egg also has a tiny hole in the shell but the membrane is still covering it.
Fingers crossed that this will work out and chick nr 1 will get siblings!

I am on Juha's PC, mine is booting, takes a little while still.

Fingers crossed that we can see them soon, hang on chicks there

To me it seems like the chick wants this to happen

ok, seems then they are on the egg inside, them not good to "help" so earlier?

oh boy how are the eggs now
actually it makes the other chicks want to come out when there are other chicks in with them so all is good lol

Chick ONE and chick THREE are now in a brooder, a plastic box with a 60 watt lamp. Sadly the light is too bright for the cam to give good pics... But it is up and the sound too. ONE has eaten a bit already!!! They have hard boiled egg yolk with a grain/seed mix.

Chick TWO is still in the incubator. It did not look good at all. But now when no one is picking on it, it actually is sitting up

wohooo

I never knew that chickens are cannibals!! They are eating what they were themselves a few days ago...

What a nice cam!!!!

No no, the yolk is their food in the egg!!! They just go on and eat the same!!!

Ok, some pics:

This is their new home







first only ONE and THREE moved in...








Meanwhile nr TWO was recovering in the incubator - it looked really bad for a while.....




But now it looks better! Nr TWO is still abit paler in color after the bloodloss but at least now everything is calm.

Not YET!!!! I have to find out if they are boys or girls . That will take weeks.
But one hen will for sure stay at home and her name will be..... Nyanna

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW :D

The cam will not be online now. The heat lamp is just too bright, it is impossible to see anything clearly. I will take pics every now and then of course.
I will, at some point, try and introduce these buggers to a hen - miracles happen - someone just might take to the chicks. It would be perfect. I do not count on it, but I will try.

Oh - and a video from last night - it is not as bad as it looks . Nr ONE is pecking a bit on the siblings, this keeps them alert and keeps them going. The weak one is still wet here, but during the night it has fully dried up.



Here they are all this morning:

all are sweet furballs now
and you give them to eat already tomato!
will you bring these sweethearts with you to annas place?

No no, they don't need me now. They have food and the bigger ones will teach the little one to eat whenand if it is ready for that.
At the moment they need rest and warmth. Nature will take care of the rest.

Ally and Robin - thanks for keeping me company yesterday on the cam - it was very nice
