      I finally checked back in after a few weeks of being awol and distracted
      (I’ve ended up fostering kittens becwuse nature is savage …)

      I was drawn to this topic as I have 5 TRES eggs that didn’t hatch, thinking mama disappeared, and/or the eggs weren’t viable. I had a rough time monitoring that box and didn’t have the exact dates for laying (that was around the same time my oops happened with the blues nest. They are back and started laying around the 20th.).. but TRES eggs were definitely way past due..

      I hate having to remove but it’s probably time .. just saw this topic and thought the same thing about how sad and sucky it can be. This season has seemed particularly challenging!

      No box at the barn my horses are at but wherever blues had built on their own , when the fledged they were too close to the barn cat as I found feathers in the paddocks :(
      Sometimes this stuff just sucks!!
      Hoping the blues who took my other box have better luck!

        Thanks guys
        I did end up taking it out but I haven’t seen them back. :(

        I have TRES in my other box I think but no sign of the blues.

          It was me and I emailed Cher as I have before.
          I removed an emoji and all apostrophes from my thread and it let me start it, which is very strange.

            I have empty boxes and TRES and blues scoping out but also haven’t had a nest yet. Kinda early in Canada.

            Also if anyone is reading this I keep getting an error when I try to submit a topic …?

                Hi sorry I’ve also been away.
                I think part of the issue is that I’m trying to do this from my iPhone .. and I’m not seeing the same options you have even using the mobile app. :(

                            Hey all i suck at updates right haha
                            Ok soooo we ended up clearing the sticks and leaving the blues original nest. They added a few more grasses to the Taj Mahal and laid 4 eggs!! Anxious for hatching

                              I Never had wrens previously which is why we did not have a wren guard. I did find eggs on the ground and there were sticks/dummy nest so – it was definitely wrens . I don’t mount anything on wooden poles – metal pole with a baffle. All evidence points to wren… i would put a guard up if the blues do lay again. They are hanging out and i think papa blue had some additional nesting material today soo fingers crossed…

                                There is an empty box out there i saw them checking out and it seemed weird how they were acting so i checked their nest to find this news..

                                :( Do i take the blues nest out , will they try to re use it? Do i leave it and try a wren guard… I actually have never had this issue before :(. HELP
