Oh.. 2 EGGS!!

I can't say i'm all happy about this.. Due to cainism, the older chick will most likely kill the younger one. You can read more about cainism here: viewtopic.php?t=590

It was so hard to see last year, when Hugo pecked his sibling to death.
Well well, this is natural..
This is not all negative, it's positive as well. Like just in case one egg doesn't hatch or an extra portion of food etc:shake:
