That was unbelievably fast, and it looked a good size prey, too!

Looks mighty windy way up in that nest box!  No wonder they are all  piled up!  Someone just got an "itch" and had to scratch ;D

... chickpiling it today ...
The Kinderchicklets saw a wee bit of movement amongst the chicks this morning, but you're right, mostly all huddled together today. :)

Nope, chickpiling it today ... yesterday they were starting to find their "own" corners to keep out of the sun but today its seems to be all for one and one under all.

Gee, thanks BS.  But I've got a looooong way to go to get to where you are.  And a lot of post to make too !!!   ;D


We'll get you over that shyness thing you have, never fear.  ::)

Sun's out, and it's 21 degrees. Wonder what it is with the humidex.

How are the chicks? Are they panting?

Big chickpile this morning :)  Must be a little chilly and I'm guessing the "wee" ones have just had a meal, from the comatose aspect of their dozing.  Just saw a bit of a wing-flap, but otherwise veerrrry sleepyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Morning folks ....

One of the adults (Princess by size) was sitting on the edge of the nestbox until a wee bit ago.  Can't tell if she has gone inside but doesn't look like - she's big enough that we should be able to see her outline no matter where she is in the box.  At this age, the chicks don't need to be covered, they can thermoregulate on their own - barring a sudden freeze of course.  In another week, the chicks will even be able to sit out in the rain without problems, but hopefully they won't need to ...
