Oops

Chick #2 died.

:-(

I noticed a lack of chirping and investigated, and there was no movement. It looked awfully wet in there and sort of yellowish--I don't know, something wasn't right. I think it drowned. That's just my professional medical opinion regarding the situation.

Big Kid was unaffected other than the "yuck" factor, but little kid is sad. He keeps trying to go out to the garbage can and when I tell him no, he looks really sad and says "Buh bye" and waves at it.

It is pretty sad. Our other chick is still looking pretty pathetic, but I think it's a fighter. The other 8 eggs are just sitting there doing nothing--I need to figure out what day they were actually due to see if this is a concern. I thought Sunday or Monday.

Pics and video soon.

Edited to add: Chick #1 is to be called Chicka Chicka Boom Boom according to Big Kid. No quite what I had in mind, we'll see if it sticks.
