Best as I can tell without pulling the nest, there are either 3 or 4 hatchlings now. One is very small; it was probably the last to hatch. Hopefully it'll catch up with the others and not get smooshed beneath them. Their crops are nice and full. :-)
One of the hatchlings was tossed, but it's back end looked like it was shaped strangely, so either it was laying in an odd manner or it could've had something wrong. Unfortunately I'd just gotten out of bed, and it was too late when I found it. Nature knows best, I suppose, but I still hate to see little ones tossed.
Unless there are any cresteds, these youngsters will be up for adoption when they're old enough. :-)
I trimmed Dolly's toenails earlier. Whew! She did NOT want a pedicure! LOL! It took both Robert AND me to trim them. He had to hold her, while I operated the clippers. Even so, she kept managing to twirl around in his hand, hiding her feet from the dreaded clippers. ;-)
