Poor Pip - He doesn't realize how lucky he is so far compared to the other 'Dads' - He doesn't get kicked out nearly as much as they did.  :D

Chicks got fed, Pip didn't get to hang out with the kids  (Princess 1, Pip 0 this time)

Yes heat is a problem for them and yes, the Radisson nestbox gets the sun in the afternoon.  But they should be fine though for a number of reasons

* Princess knows what she's doing
* There is a decent breeze out there and because of the height there will be air movement there unlike Logan and lesser so West Winnipeg
* There is a risk of thunderstorms this evening (60% + 2-4mm) and overnight (70% + 5-10mm) which will help cool things down
* Sunday not so hot and the wind will be from the west - right into the nestbox
As for dehydration - the chicks get all their moisture from the food they eat, so as long as they keep getting fed they should be fine.

Having said all of that - they are still small so there is plenty of room (even with the eggs) under Princess or Pip to keep to stay in the shade so it will be easier than if they were a week older ...

ballywing:
WOW - not sure what Princess presented to the chickies for Brunch about an hour ago  ??? - looked like a huge SPIDER or something - strange.  :-X

GCG:
 ;D Feeding time for 2 little hungry chicks. A lot of marking on the white egg. A high of 31-33C today. It will be very hot this afternoon/evening in the West sun.  :P
