MayShowers:
Oh good, after much squeaking (I think it was asking Mom-am I done my detention, can I leave the corner) the lone chick waddled over and joind the rest of the gang eating. :D
MayShowers:
and it's lunch time, except for one poor little chick in the corner. It reminds me of when you are punished and have to sit in the corner. :o
jadoo:
...whew, all 4 chicks are indeed here...
jadoo:
...well, that chick (if it's the oldest) is 9 days old, so maybe he'll survive the stupidity (mom covered him for about 10 minutes or so, now is back over the other chicks) - wow, the chick has finally figured out how to get back to the others, and is sitting beside mom, more in the shade...at least, i hope that is what has happened, I looked away for a minute; I hope that he didn't go over the ledge :o...I only noticed because i was about to type that I was going to have to turn my sound off, the was CONSTANTLY cheeping (sounded like a squeaky toy) and it was driving me nuts, then there was no more cheeping, so I looked and there he was - either beside mom (yay) or gone (oh no!) - I'll know better when i can get a count of the chicks; waiting for a feeding now...
jadoo:
...actually, one chick has wandered away from the others (there's always one ::) )...but it's going to get hot there today...mom is already acting as an umbrella, and has tried to shuggle the runaway back with the others, but he's just not getting it, and has hunkered close to the wall where there is a little bit of shade - mom keeps moving from the chickpile to the lone one, trying to shade both...then dad showed up with food, almost landing on the lone chick, who started to put up a fuss - you could see dad thinking "what the HECK!!!" - dad has flown off, probably to get the food better prepared - hopefully, mom can use the food to "lure" the wanderer back to the chickpile and shade; I'd be a little worried if she can't, I don't think it's old enough to thermoregulate yet...maybe dad could shade him?...
