3 chicks
May 16, 2021
8 am

9:30 am
What has happened?
Did egg 4 hatch and #3 still half a chick?
I just saw - something - but I dunno what

9:45 am  We have 3 healthy chicks
I dont believe #4 will make it

The male is so sweet to the female
I dont wanna watch - but I cant help it

   Kinda sad to watch.  A leg and a wing hatched.
Its alive and struggling
If we had sound we'd hear it screaming
I've heard chicks sounds inside the egg before hatch
Once at RSB

At 12:08 the three had a good meal.  The little egg chick is in with the other three now, so staying warm.


Little one did a face plant...


Back up and eating more....

1513 Finished another meal.  The little egg chick looks like it has a wing out now, and does try putting its head up, but is rather hidden when the others are all standing up and chowing down.  I keep hoping.

Time will tell.  Considering how long it's been it's trying hard, you never know.  We could lose it yet, but hope not.  Meanwhile, dad brought mom some food around 10 to 4...

Male feeds her
Comfort food
If I can read falcons at all, she's an emotional mess
Hope she calms down

I dont know any history on this pair
I thot it was a new pair, NOT 2020 pair
This male is DEFINITELY a keeper

I remember GSB back when Delaware watched too.  We both heard the unhatched chicked screaming.  Finally it died and Michelle carried it out.  She and Travis held its funeral and she returned to her nest.

Doesnt look good
May 17, 2021
10 am  This situation doesnt look good
Both Mom n Dad came in and stood long nuff for pic
One has brekky in his foot

11 am  All 3 ate

The dead chick needs to be removed before flies contaminate the other 3
Chick 3 is barely moving
Only 1 chick is really active, even that one not robust
I dont like reporting - but notes are helpful to anyone following
Its hard to watch

They looked good eating about 1110.

And again rather soon at 1245.


Just got back from La Crosse, got Chester out, and I have another errand.  Will be back..........

Thanks Nora, good to see
Evidently they werent hungry at the feeding I caught

[Nora in IA]

They had really chowed down a couple hours before that 

[Nora in IA]

2:45  They aren't starving, that's for sure 

[Nora in IA]

3:50 (give or take a few minutes) dad brought MORE food and stopped and looked, realized the chicks were covered up, so he took it over and fed mom. 

[shep]

Hooey Dooey and Looey

They fed again around 5:00 and they really chowed down, all three of them!




Then about 7:05 PM they were fed AGAIN.   They didn't eat much that time.  I can't believe the amount they are getting!
