And for me!

I had to open the "empty" side of the coop for the doves. I actually added them to my phone app that lists my flock and everyone's profile.

Nice group of chicks. How old again?

Thanks! They hatched on Friday, so they are 4 days old in the picture from yesterday. They are so cute!!!

Here's a problem (I'm worried about doves and their feelings!).
I'm going away for a few days. Doves share nest sitting. Male during the day, then switch. The male will be in the coop while I'm gone. He will have food and water. I'm worried about them missing each other. Do I attempt to get him out before I leave? Killing the eggs if I succeed (they have managed to get back in before I shut the door before)? Or ignore their feelings?

We are on day 8 or 9 of our incubation... 3 eggs appear pretty viable, 1-2 for sure are moving inside the egg. 2 are iffy, and 1, is the cracked egg that doesn't appear viable at all, but it doesn't smell and there's no blood ring, so we are leaving it alone for now.
