And 4!!

 I glimpsed a hint of a fourth the other day and hoped I was wrong - because last season #4 was very small, couldn't get fed and died.  However, this season's #4 look pretty good

I still have all the footage here for my hatches/progress vid, but looks likee it's not going to get done, so thank you for all your magnificent productios, Bart

I watched the 21:05 feeding today and the wee one didn't get a single bite. Although he managed to wiggle his way to the front, his siblings out jumped him for the food and then they knocked him about. Mom kept tearing off big pieces that he wouldn't have been able to swallow anyway. I'm worried about the guy. That feeding lasted 25 min and nothing for him. By the end, he was too tired to continue trying.

Me too Canuck - but this afternoon it didn't do quite as badly, and somehow ended up with a little crop.  It's so frustrating to watch, but hardly any chick-feed is any different!  I thought we were going to lose him/her at one point.

#4 survives, but by no means out of the woods:

I've got feeding footage but it's taking hours to process because I haven't edited it short.

Lunch on the 14th, unedited:

15 June

No breakfast yet, Mama's been in 'n out checking and tidying.

Deleted - wrong thread.

​22:18:34 to 22:20:00 oh-oh, the wee one gets mauled by an older sibling. really takes a beating. don't like to see that.

22:22:13 really bad for the wee one at this point. goes on for a min. i hate to see that.

he tries to get away from his siblings.

he better make it or i am going to dissolve into a puddle.

Me too, so I didn't watch that.  He's survived the night and here he was at 09:00 breakfast, didn't get much:

But at 17:00 the little one got attacked again - came thru it tho.  There's only one of them who seems to be trying not to get involved in any fisticuffs.

Fingers crossed - a much happier morning

As I keep being interrupted by heat-stroke so I haven't got the stamina to continue editing, here's a happy sight from later... ... ...

Changed my mind, so 2 hours later

I'd like to have given him some stars but my freebie software doesn't offer any suitable ones, so here goes and don't complain!
