The little Nn is still alive. There are two black, fully feathered chicks as well. She has until tomorrow to sit and then I’m taking the rest of the eggs.

Igor built me a plant stand, very pleased so far. This is going in the entryway along a wall for my indoor plants and each light is independently adjustable; plants can be grouped by size. I’m going to stain the frame black, but not sure if I want to do that with the shelf or not. I have some floral napkins that I could decoupage to it, or a white stain might be better for light reflection.

I don’t know for sure Shad. I tried to get her off the nest a couple of times but each time she was vicious and there were pips and zips so Last night would have been about 2 1/2 or 3 days. I found one chick Saturday morning, dry but still tired after hatching. The first few that hatched have been out and about around the nest a little so they’ve had access to food. None of them seemed particularly starving, no constant peeps or continuing to eat beyond the initial pecks when mom showed them food.
