18:45 There was a feed in progress
As much as I am very saddened by the earlier incident (as we all probably are), it was a blessing that there was not a hatching chick inside the egg. It's going to be a pleasure watching these two bobs grow and learn from Maya and B33.

patily said:OH! How sad Just read on Dyfi chat that the third egg was smashed by the fish but, probably luckily, was not fertile.
The vengeful fish!
I haven't checked subsequent footage after the end of this vid, as it took such a long time to compile - due to incompetence

Maya fed herself and then the bobs, ensuring that both got some A very good feed Pics maybe a bit haphazard as bandicam chose not to work atone point
