Please tell me that it's not more than four, and that Dij's new nest discovery is now empty? 'Cause them were BIG chicks and he's bringing me the corpses in pairs ...

My four chickens used to lay one egg a day like clockwork.
Then it was 3 some days. One or more of them was slacking.
Now we're lucky to get an egg at all. They chooks are getting old.

Bugger.
These chicks had no feathers and they were all around 12cm long (ignoring the legs) so I'm guessing quite big birdies were involved. The only colour I could see was red and that came from the inside, so that doesn't count or aid identification ...
Dij isn't talking so I'm getting nothing there either.

Having seen the size of the eggs, I would hope for the bird's sake no more than one at a time!

Update: https://cse.usf.edu/~kchriste/tools/udpClientNonblock.c[^] Pretty much what I needed. Yay.
Update 2: Much ado about nothing. Easier than I thought. Docs are just terrible.
Anyone remember the sockets layer from C and C++?
Seriously, the fact that someone actually designed them the way that they did, and it made its way through a standards committee just floors me. The blocking stuff is fine, but the non blocking stuff is incomprehensible, at least last time I looked at it.
It's absolutely the worst asynchronous API I've ever encountered.
I'm about ready to use them in blocking mode on a spawned thread just to avoid it, but the MCU doesn't have a lot of resources and threads are relatively expensive.

I'd be curious to hear more specifically what is wrong about the asynchronous socket API. What is the incomprehensible part.
Communication is, in its very nature, asynchronous. So an asynchronous socket API should be the natural way to do it. Synchronous communication is a straitjacket; you can't work or think freely if you have to force yourself into a synchronous framework for communication.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

It's anything but natural.
Adding, I took a liberty here. I'm using non-blocking and asynchronous interchangeably, but they may not always be in every context.

I can't be the only one that occasionally runs into a situation where I need to produce an awful lot of code before I can test any of it, because it's all interdependent. This often happens when I'm integrating something to an external API that itself is rather complicated, but it can come up in other situations as well. My SVG renderer for example - there are just so many moving interlocking parts that you're standing on a mountain of code before you even get to proof of life.
So if you've ever been in that situation, I imagine you hate it as much as I do.
It's stressful to me. I do not like coding a house of cards, and then having to go back and verify it after the fact. It feels shady. How do you deal with it?
Some kind of process management?
Some clever form of testing I'm not familiar with?

Rarely, but it's a PITA and I get pretty stressed. Usually for nothing but occasionally it proves to be a can of worms and I have to go back and try to debug the code, which causes more frustration until I get to the point where I post a stupid question here on CP that makes no sense to anyone but me then I get away from it for a while and behold I figure it out.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

I'm trying to wrap my head around how that would work in my present situation, and nope. I am not clever enough to figure out how that would help me.

I'm pretty sure you are clever enough to solve it finally

It's my usual way of working, whether coding something big from scratch or making a large change. The benefit is not having to plan stable waypoints that can be tested, which typically involves developing some code that will later disappear. The drawback is anticipating [blecch] several lengthy debug sessions when the code is done.

I don't have a debugger, so the debug sessions are .. interesting.
