Baby Chuckers

when my mom was gardening about 3 weeks ago, she accidentally uncovered and scared off a mother chukar from her nest. She went back later to check if the mother had returned, but the eggs were cold. my parents did some research and kept the eggs in an incubator for the past 3 weeks. There were 10 eggs, 6 chukars survived. we got to see them hatch, it was quite incredible! my parents took the chukars to Wasatch exotic pets/wildlife to be prepared to return to a field. Elizabeth thought it was really cool to watch the birds hatch, she said that we were all animal rescuers like Diego.
