I did my 3rd nest check today. The pair that had 4 eggs last week had all hatched so they are 5 days old. The other 2 pair are 11 days old now and are really healthy. One has 4 and the other has 5 so now the total is 13 babies.
One gourd did have mites so I did put about 1/4 plastic tea spoon of 5 percent seven in all nest just to have them all covered. I am excited to see all three pair now feeding. I just pray that they all fledge. I hope all are having as much fun and enjoyment as I am experiencing.

Best of luck to all
Chris
