Tick-Tak taking first bites at 2 days old.

Their first bites are of the incubation media while they are still in their egg. You will see them poop it out when they start having bowel movements after 7-10 days. This is why it is crucially important to use the correct incubation media.

Yes, you are correct. I happen to be at the right time on obsevation when the little one emerged from the egg. I then introduced to a moist paper towel and back to the incubator. On day 2 I introduced to fresh mix if greens. I was amazed that it took bites at day 2. First time I havr seen that in the 5 years I have been breeding Egyptians.
