...two chicks out, currently looks like dad in the nest, still a little unsure, i think - seems fascinated by the empty shells, and not too sure about the chicks - the older one is already begging for food, and plucking at his chest - he picked up one of the empty eggshells, and it landed on his head for a few seconds (hilarious), and then he decided to get the chicks and eggs, and eggshells under him, then he chest bumped one of the chicks out from under him while trying to brood - now everything is set, and he's picking at the gravel - very antsy young dad he is - oops, now off everybody...extremely entertaining...

Definitely a pip in the second egg. Hatching imminent I think. As I've just been watching saw little beak poke through and piece of shell fall away. Going back to watch!  :D

...dad came in, looking a little confused - picked up the broken eggshell, then dropped it, moved in towards the chick & remaining eggs, moved things around a bit (accidentally knocking the chick over, but I don't think it's balance is great at this point) - he did roll the eggs a bit, & I thought I saw a pip in a second egg - then mom came back, gave him what sounded to be a scolding & hurried him out... :D

....eggshells visible!  Mom hunkered down solidly (looks like it's cool & rainy outside, but dry inside) - haven't seen the chick(s) yet... ;D

Someone on CMNH mentioned the other day that the white egg was pushed away and not being incubated at that time - think that was 2 days ago I read that.
