Their first feed. They're both falling over. One got some food, and I don't know if the second chick got any. Well, they are less than 1 day old so it isn't a big deal. :loveshow:

My observations
Oct 6, 2020 dawn USA
2 have hatched, still one egg
Egg one took very long to hatch
Oct 5 Di stepped on one chick. It was behind her when she noticed.
Later one chick was on its back, couldnt right itself. Di flipped it to its tummy.

Wonder what happened?

Oct 9
For days I have believed Diamond will only raise ONE chick this year.
Eggs 1 and 3 took too long to hatch.
When egg 1 hatched at last, Diamond stepped on the chick.
It survived awhile, falling over a lot. It ate some, finally died.

Egg 3 cracked open enuf I saw movement inside myself.

Chick is egg 2 and appears healthy - so far

I cant imagine what Xavier may be thinking - or what he may do.
He loves his young so much.

Tough report but true.

:sorrow:

The first hatch took way too long and once the chick was out it was mostly on its back. A clear sign something was wrong with it from the start. Always so sad to see this happen. But the second chick seems very healthy, eating well so that is a positive.

ONE CHICK
Oct 12, 2020
Xavier brought prey and tried to feed Diamond. Sweet.
It was too dark for an image.

Yesterday he was 3 hours late bringing prey, was concerning.
I wondered if Di has a new mate. No one else thinks so.
She laid 3 eggs, only 1 surviving chick.

OK bcaw peeps, you KNOW me!
I cant tell the male from the female!
Are you ALL certain this male is Xavier?
Mods in chat say it is.

Yall take good pics!
