Machie and Demure 2nd batch

After the 1st batch , they start to prepare on the 2nd after a two weeks rest. On 26 Jan demure laid her 1st egg followed by 1 a day till 29Jan , total 4 eggs.

Today 8 Feb, i wasn't expecting anything as i am expecting 1st hatching around 10 of Feb. But to my surprise i saw 2baby chicks after chatting with a new shama friend downstairs which he is viewing Machie's 1st batch baby. Wow! its indeed getting more interesting !

Sorry for the picture quality... its kinda hard to take lah : )

09.02.2011 Today the other 2 eggs hatch, glad that all 4 eggs hatch this time round. 1st batch only 3 out of 4 hatch. The best part is , i get a chance to see how the chick work its way out!

Demure start feeding them right away. She is such a good mother ! Whenever there is a lack of something she will come to me and give that kind of i need something face.... luckily i always manage to get it for her.

Just now while i was there , she look at me then she look at the crickets. Jump into the tub but somehow she did not pick up any cricket, she then come to me (very near about 1 feet ) from this i can feel she is having trouble with something , something with the food i provide... so i suspect that she find the crickets might be too big for the chicks, then i put in some meal worms (about 5 ) she grab it ! so to me this is something new that i have learn today, and i shall remember by heart to take note of live food size when there is chicks!
