I know Matt, I am prepared and got 6 boxes of mini ones! Live foods direct on ebay, great service. Still no sign at the moment though

A dull wet day here so not great viewing, but here is Kate as she realised her first chick arrived into the world, he is on left of cup, he gives a wriggle.

Morning from a very chilly wet North Yorkshire, I think we are now at 6 chicks 2 eggs remaining, Kate is proving to be a great mum feeing her chicks often with patience and so gently , Hastings does pop in with a meal worm but but not at regular intervals, I hope the remaining eggs will hatch today . I will put some pics up but I am waiting for the sun to come out so the pics are better to see, it is so cloudy and dull at the moment it isnt great viewing, but all look strong and are doing fine as is mum and occasionally dad

8th egg hatched at 2pm yesterday, thrilled all 8 have safely arrived, Kate is of course super busy but we are keeping her live food topped up to help, Hastings is around but isnt really hands on, but he will bring the odd worm, its quite interesting comparing dads, last year Ron was by Molly's side from start to finish, such a great team, Boulder before him left Chico 1 day into them hatching.

Great news like Matt says, the fun now begins. Roller-coaster ahead 😂

Eight is a great number Karen, congrats. As you say it is really funny how the different ‘dads’ behave but that seems to cross all the species . Hope Hastings steps up a bit, but hopefully Kate will do a grand job with or without him. Sue
