Another chickie update Sadly, I think the Chickadee has abandoned the nest. She was weird all night last night, not sleeping on the eggs and even pooping in the nest. Then she did not eat the worm her partner brought in the morning and just sat in the entrance for a long time. Then she left a bit ago. Her partner came twice with food. It looks like she covered the eggs again too. No idea what is happening, and I am sad but I guess that is nature. She may be old, she may be weak from all those freaking eggs. We do not use any chemicals in our garden but I cannot control the neighborhood. I will leave things as they are for a bit to see what happens. Having a camera in the nestbox can be a delight but also a curse. You get very invested. Sigh.

  • @Ostdrossel@mindly.social oh no...it's like a nature doc and sometimes it be like that, but it doesn't soften the fact we get invested anyway

  • @Ostdrossel@mindly.social to be fair, things were already off the rails with 12 eggs. It's tough not being able to do anything about it that won't make the situation worse.
