Babs has a baby!

Recommended Posts

El has just been and gone, sadly she forgot to charge her camera so no new pics yet, but there has been a most exciting development!

 

no new chickies just yet, but when we lifted Babs up we did spot a little flap of shell being pecked at from the inside of one of the eggs! and guess which it was Mostin :D

Nelly the Naked neck???

 

You beat me to that guess :lol: , I'm so glad they are hatching, I can't wait to tickle those naked necks :wink: .

 

It's all your fault Shonagh and Ellie :shameonu: , I got sidetracked while waiting for news, and now I've bought some new shoes from another website :doh: . That was sooooooooo not my fault :angel: .

oh my, that would be unfortunate! :lol:

 

Just took Aracauna shell no. 2 out from under Babs!!! :D

 

(hatch) no. 3 has arrived! 'she' will be named Hebe (we're going for breed related names here as you can tell)

 

also felt a couple of the eggs 'kicking' whilst i was getting the shell :dance:

It's never "my" fault :angel: .

 

 

 

:lol::lol: Reminds me of the old Kenny Everett sketch... 'and all my clothes fell off' :roll::lol:

 

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

 

 

Welcome to the world little Hebe (hatch):dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

 

I can't believe your mums missing all this, and that I'll miss out on Weds because of that :( , just try and stop me coming to see them at the weekend though :wink: .

charging the camera now, pictures will be up soon!

 

Hahaha, i think even if we did try, it wouldn't work, you'd get here one way or another!

 

Will give Hebe enough time to dry out and fluff up and then we will go take lots of pretty pics and see if anyone else has popped out! :D

 

(Dad gets back tonight, will have a detailed account of every word and facial expression!)

Ellie is determined to name the naked-neck Dracula, whether it is a boy or not! (me n mum think it should be Mina, Darla or Drusilla, sticking with the vampire theme)

 

:lol::lol::lol: i will film him on arrival if the NN has hatched, hopefully he won't find it too suspicious and start wondering what's happened.... :anxious:

 

me n El were just out watching the chickies eat worms, Nessie came out and gulped down a load, then 1 of the Aracaunas (presumably Violet as she is older) came out and had a turn :D

 

camera battery not fully charged yet, so will get more pictures ASAP

Dad just home, nothing on the naked side of things though, so nothing to film..... yet :lol:

 

however, when me n El were showing him the chicks (well, Nessie as she was the only 1 to come out) she had a feel under Babs for any empty shell and said she could feel "shell - crack - squish - shell" so we are thinking someone else is on their way :dance: and then, as Nessie was trying to get back under Babs she shifted some of her chest feathers out of the way and we saw 2 little wet heads!!! a little yellow 1 and a little black 1 :D

 

so we now have 5 out of 7 (hatch) and n0. 6 on it's way hopefully :o

Have just retrieved the shells of the 2 newest (hatch) and they are the Marsh daisy and the Naked-neck!!! :P

 

have managed to hide the identity of the 2nd chick because it was tucked away and i said the writing had been on the crack :wink:

 

just the silkies still in there, so fingers crossed for at least 1 getting out :pray:

it was so hard not to burst out laughing! Ellie was smirking away when he couldn't see and i had to turn my back on him once or twice for fear of grinning too suspiciously :lol:

 

desperate to find out what is happening with these silkies, but it will have to wait till the morning now :?
