Hmm, well I looked in this morning that saw that the egg was broken on one end, but not under the mother.

Then I looked back just now after a few hours, and the egg has disappeared with two chicks visible. So I guess it wasn't viable.

I haven't checked in on these two for a while . . . happy to see two healthy chicks.

Have the parents decided that egg is non-viable, since it's not under cover?

Second hatch for Sawatzke and Mary Ellen.

Very short video of Mary Ellen removing the shell from her chick.

Just watched a chick hatching :o  Might be the first one - Mary Ellen has almost finished eating the shell and still-wet chick is loudly announcing his/her arrival!

Yes, egg!!

I checked in an hour ago, and saw Mary Ellen in the nestbox in the distinctive sitting-over-an-egg posture and knew that it must have happened.

Thanks for the pic, RCF!
