Hungry chicks. They are 5 days old. Sorry about picture quality, its the best I can do at the moment.



Female looking for mealworms. I have been raising and feeding mealworms, and can barely keep up with demand.





Male protesting that the bowl is empty.

Bluebird eggs are hatching

I am having a problem, this editer seems to want to underline my text. O well I will continue. The eggs have started hatching. One egg hatched yesterday and this morning 2 more have hatched.





This is a picture of the male feeding the chicks. See the open mouth to the right.





This is a video of the female feeding chicks. Note, the female is not as bright blue as male.
