Only one? Otherwise you could do a pair name.

What about Fizz?

Yep, she only laid one egg. This is her 3rd set for me. Bugsy is from the first hatch, the other baby died at day 5. Her last pair, only one hatched (Chance), the other was DIS, and Chance only lived about 15 days. So maybe she instinctively decided to just do one this time.

@biophiliac how is #1744?

1744 is approximately 1/2 the size of 1743 even though he/she has been fed everytime I checked except for last night when I found his crop only maybe 1/4 full. Since it was late, I doubted he would get any more so I brought him in and filled him up with thawed peas and put him back.

As you can see 1744 got fed by dad this morning. He is not gaining weight at the pace I expect but is still gaining, so we will see.
edit added - 1743 has an amazing white stripe going on!

With humidity in the 80s my nests get so messy I am constantly adding a layer of clean shavings over the poop. I even dump the whole mess and start over at least 2xs before they come out.

This morning Miss Olive had breakfast with the canaries. They get along so nicely. They like to preen her head and she preens their tail feathers.

I know this. But to try to catch, and remove a spider in a 6 by 8 loft I ran the risk of losing it. And I don't want a large spider running around my loft with day old squabs smaller than the spider.

It won't harm the chicks, but will eat any flies, mites or other insects that might!

how about fern?

Spiders are beneficial. Don't kill spiders.

I agree. I don't like spiders but I hate flies! So they can stay unless they're too close in which case my son 'rehomes' them for me!
