Newborn Barn Owl

From Nature's Edge Wildlife and Reptile Rescue

Ever wonder how small barn owls are at hatching?

This little one is approx 4 to 8 hours old. Hatched sometime between 2 am and 6 am.

We were brought a nest of eggs that fell in a hay barn when hay bales were being moved. We got the eggs into our incubator, and this was the only egg to grow. Sooooo tiny compared to adults! Affectionately named Jester, since today is April 1st

Help win some free meals for owls!

- It looks like you can vote for multiple people (1 per 24 hrs) but not the same person multiple times.
  
  Still appreciate it though! 😍

"What THE HELL IS THAT!!!"
"Well it's not a grumpy old man." (in reference to a joke I make about newborns always looking like grumpy old men.)
- Aww, I think it looks like a Jelly Baby. 😃
