usually they are hatched and gone before
i can get a picture of them. today i happened
to be lucky and got a few pictures of them
as they were hatching out. two of the four
were hatched when i first checked and then
i went back a while later and checked again
and the rest were hatched.

oh .. they are so cute!


yeah! all legs and feet.

they also move out pretty quickly. i couldn't
find them the next day, but they were around as
the parents were still trying to decoy and lead
away.

i hope to see them running around soon and get
a few more pictures.
