Chick Number Two

Looks like we might be repeating last year's performance of all three chicks hatching on the same day. The wind is still giving Princess some grief but she has been sticking like velcro to her two chicks and lone egg. She's even managed some housekeeping now that she has actual gravel to "play" in. Princess hasn't been sharing the brooding duties with Trey at all today, she's done that before. It may be with all the chicks hatching at the same time, she's decided to stick with it until they have all cleared their shells. At this stage, the chicks are small enough that Trey won't have a problem keeping them covered so he can certainly do the job, she's just not letting him do it!
