Oh Colt...... and Sally, I would have been bashing my head against the nearest wall. What a sad thing to happen.

Noticed today, that my male Star, is glancing in the direction of little Sunny, my other female Star....

Sure didn't take him long.

Well that's good.

And yes, it was quite frustrating. Especially since this was the only pair that ever lays eggs. They toss but at least I could foster. It was my only Yellow-faced male and my gimpy Red-faced Pied Isabelle hen. To top it all off I checked their old nest and didn't see any eggs. But when I pulled the box down a week later a clutch rolled off the top of the box... I could have just screamed.

Not good my friend. So sorry about your birlings and the clutch (that could have been fostered) . Sigh.....
