Should I install a wren guard?

I think sides are important but with a skittish bird like this one you did the right thing not starting with them. Just so you know, I leave guards on until day 10 because I don’t trust HOWR.

Gin,

I’ve yet to install the side blinders but have the sparrow spooker up. The male and female really went ballistic over that one too. Tomorrow is day 12 of incubation. We’ve had several nights in the mid 40s recently and I wonder if that may delay hatching. Today I’ll try adding one blinder at a time.

Thanks for the calm voice of experience.

I don’t think the cool nights will have much effect at all. She’s in there all night, keeping the eggs warm.
