13.55 -the female got up, adjusted the nest, takes care of the chicks - cleans and massages them. The chicks are active, two pooping chicks (very few),

... poor little one , why did she fly with him?

black storks (what I see on the streamed nests) with larger chicks that can't swallow always fly away - I don't know what happens next (maybe they'll just let them somewhere further - far from the nest so as not to attract predators under the nest)

Thanks Marika for the information. I hope he doesn't take them all like that.

Adria,
she will have to fly away to searching for food for herself and maybe she won't come back (the others storklets are already too big for such a procedure)

...

Thank you, Marika . So let's hope for some miracle (I don't know what) that it won't end tragically. This nest finally deserves a happy ending. I admire your holy patience - the chat on YT is currently, in German, "die Hölle los" (I do not know the Slovak equivalent of this term).

15.40 - the female gets up, adjusts the nest and secures it (is she going to fly?), cleans and massages the chicks, the chicks are huddled together, one poop.

16.15 - The female flew away .
16.58 - the female has returned. She brought no food for the chicks.
