I would be vastly reassured if mom or dad showed up for a feeding, and the chicks gobbled everything down.  Mind you, I believe I heard the parents a couple of times, but still...

He's breathing, I can see him clearly ...little body moving up and down.  I should also mention that when I turned on the cam earlier before I posted..he was standing up a minute and then he tucked down there for a nap.

so good to see these boys! very sad about Bella though. I remember I read somewhere that only 50% survive the first year.

 :o  Wow is right, dark feathers galore!  I'm glad to see they're doing well and they're keeping a close eye on them.  Question: Are the adults affected by Trichomoniasis as well or are they pretty much immuned to it?
