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.
