Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Carol P. on 11-Apr-10, 05:49:16 PM Are you asking when the last egg is laid by Beauty or the day the last eyas hatches from the egg? ;)
Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: cyclones14 on 11-Apr-10, 05:50:37 PM When do you think the last baby will hatch out of the egg? (well obviously only the healthy ones which we hope all will be!)
Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Donna on 11-Apr-10, 05:54:13 PM When do you think the last baby will hatch out of the egg? (well obviously only the healthy ones which we hope all will be!) I think first we need to see how many more eggs she has before we can figure out the hatch date. :wave: Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: cyclones14 on 11-Apr-10, 05:57:05 PM Post whenever you want! :) I just wanna see peoples guesses!

Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 12-Apr-10, 09:11:37 PM May 12 for Helga Jean! Still didn't say if there's a story behind the name Helga Jean...inquiring minds and all that... Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: valhalla on 13-Apr-10, 06:25:14 AM May 12 for Helga Jean! Still didn't say if there's a story behind the name Helga Jean...inquiring minds and all that... Ok - the story behind the name.... Over the years when friends were preggers, I'd call the baby Heartbeat or some such name. With many more people finding out the sex of the baby long before birth, many now name the baby. I like that. So, for those that don't know the sex or haven't picked out a name, I make one up and call the baby that name until birth. Generally, it is something the parents would never pick. Helga is a nice strong-sounding Germanic name and Jean just flows nicely with it. BTW, a friend is VERY pregnant, having a girl, hasn't picked a name, so I always call the baby Helga Jean. It's a good name! To answer how I will know which egg is Helga Jean - that will be the PUSHY One :laugh: Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 13-Apr-10, 06:39:03 AM May 12 for Helga Jean!

Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: cyclones14 on 13-Apr-10, 03:30:46 PM Now, when will we know the names of they baby birds? Gender? Do we vote for the names?

Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: cyclones14 on 13-Apr-10, 03:37:49 PM Interesting story behind Helga Jean!
Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 13-Apr-10, 03:39:08 PM Now, when will we know the names of they baby birds? Gender? Do we vote for the names? LOOONG way to go before we even start talking about it. 33-35 days to hatch-counting starting ?...30 +/- more days to banding. Not to be a party pooper...we're all VERY excited...but there's a reason for the old saying don't count your chickens before they hatch... Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: cyclones14 on 13-Apr-10, 03:40:35 PM Haha! Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: valhalla on 13-Apr-10, 04:10:46 PM Now, when will we know the names of they baby birds? Gender? Do we vote for the names? Nope - we have no say in any of the above :( Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 13-Apr-10, 04:21:07 PM Now, when will we know the names of they baby birds? Gender? Do we vote for the names? Nope - we have no say in any of the above :( Not neccessarily true, Janet. Gender, we surely have no say, but we have had input into eyas names in the past. I'm hoping this wonderful community can be involved again! Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Kris G. on 13-Apr-10, 04:38:04 PM Now, when will we know the names of they baby birds? Gender?

I'm hoping this wonderful community can be involved again! It really doesn't matter to me, but we find out what the selection process is after it has happened and what the criteria is. I wash me hands of the entire process, which is why I'm having fun with Helga Jean because no one names an egg. Speaking of naming... Remember that in honor of my Birthday egg, Helga Jean, I made a donation (click the button above) to help keep these cams going. Please consider doing the same everybody. The cams cost money and the egg fairy isn't paying for them, so pick an egg, name it, an make a donation in honor of it :-* Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Shaky on 13-Apr-10, 07:44:39 PM Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Aafke on 25-Apr-10, 03:23:39 PM My guess is that the first egg will hatch at May 16
greetings Aafke Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: chlosmom on 30-Apr-11, 02:30:09 PM question---is it likely that b's second hatch be as much as 8 days after her first?
Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 30-Apr-11, 02:39:58 PM question---is it likely that b's second hatch be as much as 8 days after her first? They didn't start incubating full time until after the last egg was laid. This is so they will all hatch close to each other. In other nests where there has been a long delay between eggs this has been true as well. But we won't know until they start hatching! Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: chlosmom on 30-Apr-11, 03:18:49 PM one more question--do they hatch in order of being laid? thanks for you time
Title: Re: Baby poll Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 30-Apr-11, 03:30:53 PM one more question--do they hatch in order of being laid? thanks for you time That's hard to tell. The first one laid does have a dark spot, so we may be able to tell this time. Generally it's hard to tell one from the other unless they're marked and in an incubator. |
