Toddlers are Quackers

For all the things I expected to find in the nest, what I found was not it!

Doesn't cover it.
First, a pile of smeared poop outside the all dividing the area. It was from the ducks that I let wander in there a few days ago. Got that cleaned up. Then I found a pile of maggots. Got that cleaned up. Then I moved the wall, and got it secured. No peeping still from the chick.
I removed the nest box, and there is one egg. I think it is still going to hatch. I could not find the chick anywhere! Or the other egg, but one looked like it had stopped developing, so they may have kicked it out, and that is what the maggots were feasting on.
The chick was finally found. Flat as a pancake (flatter) and glued to the wall by its blood.
 
Sounds like a scene from psycho - told you a giraffe farm was better, but you wouldn't listen :D
