Nest # 9 was a delight this morning..When I checked the progress, and asked hen to move, there they were..all four hatched overnight..this is what you go for. Left her and her mate some peas and couscous..Nest #10 should have some chicks tomorrow..Pics to follow... :)


This is the pair. Waterslager cock bird on top left. He is a good feeder of his 4 chicks.

Hen used the white burlap and cotton for the outside nest.


Nestling food given to the parents to feed the chicks. Yellow round has Abba nestling food. The ceramic dish has peas and cooked couscous mixed with Abba green. The clear dish has a mixture of dry nestling foods fortified with vitamin, bee pollen and minerals. The birds will pick from this mix what they need.
