I know Hermione has grown this week. She seems HUGE to me. So I can’t figure out why in her “duck and egg” shot she doesn’t look even half an inch longer. In fact, she looks smaller to me. Why is this? Oh well. It’s hard to tell in the picture, but she (and Ron [...]

Just a quick shot of Ronnie (since we think he’s a she, we’ve amended her name to be more gender neutral) and Hermione at 2 1/2 weeks of age: And then here are some eggs in the incubator. Put in eleven on Monday, then added two more Tuesday morning. I’m keeping all kinds of notes, and [...]

It turned out great! Here’s a shot of Hermione, at eight days old, next to an egg the size of the one she hatched out of (I like it so much I’m going to try to get a picture like this each week to show her growth):

Hermione turned One Week yesterday, Ron today, and Harry will be One Week tomorrow. Here they are: I wish I’d taken pictures next to a ruler or something right after they hatched, because it is amazing how much bigger they are. I held one up to an egg today (oh, that would be a [...]

Okay, so after posting a few pictures and entries, it occurs to me that there might actually be a theme here besides just cute stuff to show my family. So, while the main mission remains to share our daily activities with my extended family, I’ve changed the name to reflect a wider potential audience. That’s [...]
