And before anyone asks if I was really concerned, the answer is yes. Been tracking this freaking bird every couple of hours on my phone and I could never catch her feeding the damn chick. And at one point earlier this morening I causer a tiny glimpse of the chick and I seriously thought it was a goner - no movement at all. Shades of Ella's sister Spencer who sucked at first feedings. Chicks need to get fed in first 6 hours after hatch (that's my experience) and I didn't catch her feeding the chick - babies this young are hard to feed (no strength or coordination) and Ella has never been quick at it before - guess that has changed. Going to have to scour the recordings later today to see when the feedings I missed!
Bloody bird - not getting the sleep I lost back, that's for sure!!!
