I went to check on mother hen in her nest today and there´s been an accident.

Unfortunately neither chick made it.
I notice the nest has been abandoned too.

I´m so sad. How awful :sad2: Mother nature can be so cruel.

That's so sad :( I think I missed the post about these chicks, were they in your local park?

They were in the tree outside my window. She did well with them for so long, we had bad heavy rain and wind and she was there holding the nest down.
They have been hanging around here eating and just sitting. I don´t think they will nest in my tree again...
I posted about it here.
Also, I can´t go to the park because we´re not allowed out of the village.

I´ve been pretty bummed out since spotting the eggs broken. It´s really bothering me. I know these things happen in the wild, but still it´s just so sad :(

So sad. All that work for mom but yes nature can be very cruel. Look at this covid & how it seems our lives may never be the same for a really long time.

I am so sorry for your loss. :sorrow:

Even though you only watched from the balcony, every little life is precious.
