Sage Baby Huey & Hermit at one day old, 2009.
Both chicks
turned
out to be males, and both are still very attached to Mom; aka "momma's
boys". Sage finally had to run them off in order to breed this season. |
This photo was taken in May 2010.
Baby Huey & his brother Hermit are
inseparable. Baby Huey got his name because he was three times the size
of his brother for many, many months, but finally little Hermit caught
up to
him, however, Hermit is shy and cries out frantically whenever he can
not see his brother. As you can see in this photo, Baby Huey is already
"displaying", like the big boys, but little brother seems to still be
in his shadow. Huey is really bold and will go up to anyone and
anything without hesitation! |
