Jack laid the second egg on Friday 9/24/10. Chile has taken off incubation sporadically. I plan to candle the eggs on Wednesday or Thursday. If the eggs are fertile, they will hatch on or about October 12th.
'Frisco and Dover were displaying a lot this morning. I saw 'Frisco feeding Dover on the landing board and then attempting to mate. Still don't know the sexes yet. No nesting observed.
Marty continues to flourish. He flies quite well now - once flew on top of the loft and I had to get him down. I will have to work on a recall with him if I plan to keep him as a pet. I also have slowly introduced him to the homers. He also had his second bath this weekend.
The homers routed for a very brief period of time this morning - about 5-10 minutes. They returned with a stray feral that flew away once they trapped. It's over 110 degrees today and I am a little concered for their health. The aviary will be misted this afternoon to insure they stay cool.
