    As always, thanks all!
    Right when they get out of the egg and separated from their yolk!

    Well, at least, in my case, I went and inspected each baby right when they got out of the egg so they got some handling. And then some more after that because I was replacing the paper towel often. And my kids can't help but handle them while I do all that.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
