It is near midnight, now technically Day 21.
Seven chicks have hatched and I can see more beaks and more cracked eggs
so I am hoping to see more chicks by this time tomorrow night. The only
problem so far has been the unabsorbed yolk sac from the first chick
that hatched, AKA #1 AKA Mr. Firstborn. I don't expect him to live very
long, but he will have more fame than a chick deserves being on Myspace.
His hatching was a moment that I will never forget as it literally
happened in the blink of an eye. He's been hanging in there for 6 hours
now, but seems very weak. I think having an open navel subjects him to
bacterial infections. Karen can probably give a prognosis better than I
can.
