SarahR 70 Report post Posted December 22, 2015 Sad news today. Sadly Polo's last egg looks to be DIS, no movement or pip and it was due to hatch today. so will be leaving polo with her current 5 chicks. all look to be being fed and well looked after by mum and dad Wicked's eggs due to start hatching soon i guess loosing 1 is better than loosing a whole clutch moved onto Wood chip for bedding......and i love the stuff! soo easy to clean i have gone and got 2 small portable fish tanks (or cricket tanks) which are the perfect size for when i pull 2 chicks to hand rear ......now just to work on my picture skills again haha.....i cleaned the nest box out after picture was taken......:P and put new bedding in for them Fingers crossed for Pieds!
