Redfoot's daily life

8 am in the morning: "Hey Mom, where is our breakfast? You are late today"

Peanut exercises his leg muscles

Oops, that hubba hut is already taken

If Mom can find us here behind the grass?

Let me see, if she has something to eat

Can you please let me sleep a bit longer? It's only 8am!

Do I see food? Ok, I forgive you Mom to wake me up so early.

Second day in Pebbles life

Pebbles is a bit bigger than a quarter. she was very tired this morning, when I got her out of the incubator. But she had to endure some more pictures I made of her.

Her yolk sac is only half the size of what it was yesterday.

She got a nice warm bath with her siblings this morning. (Pebbles in the foreground)


Now look at Georgy. Isn't this the same face expression? Georgy must be her Daddy. Pebbles has the same look like her Dad.



After the bath she was fully awake and I could shot a close up of her. Isn't she adorable?
But that was as much as she could take today and I brought her back into the warm moist incubator, so she can go on sleeping, absorb her yolk sac and get stronger.

Peanut and Pebbles size comparison


Peanut on the left, tomorrow 6 weeks old, and Pebbles, hatched today. Amazing how much they grow in only 6 weeks, isn't it.
