My god, what will happen now. Will she go after the other two?!

Oh my goodness, this is a tragedy! :'( Is Polly not able to hunt for food herself?! ???

Yes she can apparently now hunt for herself. She's not taking her parents ignoring her for new silblings well though it seems.

I just got on my computer after being busy all weekend with my upcoming move, and I am so upset to read this. The last time I looked on Friday afternoon, everything seemed so serene and peaceful, and now this. This is just awful. Eve has not posted anything further about the situation since Polly took the chick.

Polly was in earlier terrorizing her and she seems nervous now, she lost her balance and fell on one of the babies but it looks okay. Photos here:

Keep in mind that the chicks have had their parents "on" them and while they look fragile, they really are pretty tough, even at an early age ... the chick is probably just fine.

I am wondering if she took it to eat or to raise. I just cannot get my head around her eating it.
I have a message into Gord and Helen.
