This is baby #3 who was hatched on August 8 or 9. He is really starting to show a lot of growth of pin feathers and a little down is appearing. He is very strong and a good eater. Of the three babies, he seems to want me to hold him the most and resists being put back into the incubator with his siblings. I just have to admire his strength and the way he pushes his way to where he wants to be in the huddle of babies! If there had been a 4th egg, this one would have had a baby brother or sister even larger in size! It always seemed odd to me that the babies hatch over such a long period of time. One would think it would be easier to have them all the same size, but then the would all leave the nest at the same time which would make it very difficult for Mommy and Daddy to watch and protect the babies on those critical days. This way, they can focus on each baby by itself when it takes its first flights! God thought of everything!
