After the sad events of yesterday, Jackie still remained on the nest throughout the night incubating a breached egg (the other breached egg is at the rails) Jackie calls for Shadow and she leaves the nest. Shadow arrives thinking he has two eggs to incubate. Sadly, Shadow looks at the broken egg at the rails and then to the crushed egg in the nest bowl. He just stares at the empty nest trying to comprehend what had happened to them. 💔 Shadow will move the crushed egg out of the bowl, he will fix some of the sticks on the nest. He steps on the eggshell as he is aerating the bowl. Even with no eggs, Shadow's instincts & hormones tell him to incubate.

Shadow stays on the nest for almost an hour before departing. Jackie arrives back a couple minutes later and she too will lay in the nest incubating lost dreams.

This is a sad turn of events for Jackie & Shadow. With both eggs gone, it could however, present an opportunity for Jackie to reset her breeding hormones and re-clutch. Normally it takes about 3-4 weeks for a female's body to be able to lay a second clutch. It is still early in the season and plenty of time for Jackie to lay eggs again. ♥ We love you Jackie & Shadow! Thank you for watching!
