Surprise
Elvis and Prescilla are our prettiest Vos pair. Unfortunately, although they lay every three months, they only succeed in having one or two babies a year. Adding insult to injury, Prescilla hasn't fed her babies causing us to lose the first two. Last time, Debra and I pulled the baby and handfed it from day 1. It was beautiful.
Last weekend I went out and checked nest boxes for the first time in a couple of weeks. In Prescilla's box was a chubby little ten day old baby. She seemed so happy to have a baby to raise. And for a change she's doing a great job.
Breeder friends tell us that you have to let a new mother fail a few times while learning how to care for a chick. Hopefully, Prescilla will continue to hatch and feed her new babies.
