I love babies, but I dont envy you finding homes for 6. Do a picture diary so we can see them as they grow.

 

[MikeyTN]

Congratulations to the new Grandparront. They should be beautiful babies especially with the pied. Don't forget pic's of the newly hatched.

I also have a Red Tail Black Too due to hatch in the next week or so. So exciting watching that egg form blood vains & finally hatch & grow into such a beautiful bird.

The brady bunch, TN style. Congrats.

Haha!!! Tell me about it....

 

[upcgirl]

Are there any babies yet??? Anybody?? I haven't seen many babies after they have hatched, and I am just a big sucker for babies...

 

[MikeyTN]

No one hatched so far, it ranges from 18-28 days. When I used to raise them I had some hatch as early as 14 days and some as late as 31 days. There's many factors involved, depending on humidity, time of incubation, etc. Some times a female don't incubate until she finishes her clutch but in my case my tiels always hatch every other day interval so they start incubation period right away....

My Red Tail egg has internally pipped so i expect a hatch in a day or so.
