I can't find them either.

Seems there is concern for the little one:

Kate StJohn The chick's behavior does not look normal to me so I imagine it doesn't look normal to them. The chick will get a health check on Banding Day. Nothing to be done (by humans) until then.

Kate StJohn Note that Dorothy and E2 are very experienced parents & will do what is right for peregrines. Their offspring must become strong precision flyers & hunters to survive in the wild. They will teach this chick to do that if he/she is able.

Kate StJohn As I have said many times, Dorothy is 16 years old and her chances of producing a healthy chick are low. This chick might have a birth defect. We will not know until Banding Day

Kate StJohn Consider this: 2 years ago one of Dorothy's 2 chicks had a birth defect -- seizures -- and died within a week of hatch. The other one grew up and fledged.
It is possible that this chick has a birth defect that has taken longer to show up than for the chick in 2013 -- but that is mere speculation on my part. The chick will be examined and receive humans' medical attention on Banding Day

in my opinion the problem is with the chick, not with Dorothy. D is doing her best & is protecting the chick.

I'm a bit out of the loop on this how this whole thing came about as I've not been watching regularly but every time I do the chick looks fine to me.  It's been fed, brooded - extensively so by an over protective mom, and is growing. 

Solo chicks as we know are always tough to watch, they don't have a sibling to lean on so they fall over alot especially when they're being stuffed silly and they've got those big feet to contend with.  Having watced Dorothy in years past, she's never been the type to use up energy caring for a chick that isn't well so I'm going to follow her cues and figure since she is caring for it with all her might - in her falcon mind, this chick is viable.

This above post by Kate was after all the concerns the day s(he) was on his back so long.  People started saying it was frail looking, walked on its elbows, can't sit up straight, etc.  I think it looks fine to me but Kate hasn't been optimistic since it was hatched plus she never thought Dorothy would lay eggs or hatch any..it was just a follow up to posted concerns.

I"m going to say it's a family thing - first our baby here, then Dorothy's and lest we not forget the Queen of laying on her back 'Miss Tesh'  

But seriously, Dorothy is determined to stuff this chick silly - may I present Exhibit A (photo by Catwoman):



I'd be on my back too

This little one looks like it has blue feet!

No wonder we have so many here...it's on both sides of the family!
