Now I know something is up. they usually do not even come in to relieve each other. one calls and leaves and the other is there right away.the male just came in(doesn,t he look sheepish ;D ;D) and left again
bev.:
I believe we have a pipped egg. it is the egg at the back. I should have circled it . I will go back and do that
bev.:
well she is still checking and moving around.Sometimes I think she is talking to them . they say they vocalize to them to stimulate them into hatching, that may be what she is doing.
I just know this will happen when I am not at the cam. I have to go out for awhile this evening( I do not think they will appreciate me saying that I have to stay home and wait for a chick or two to hatch) :) :)
bev.:
that is what i was thinking Tracy. that is why I was not concerned. So if incubation started with the last egg then we are O.K. right!! I was trying to make a comparison that if May 25 was the last egg laid then today is day 32. and if technically they do not start incubating until last egg laid then she has only been incubating fro 32 days.
anyhow I am praying for the best . we do need some positive here after the year we have had. Two years ago in Edmonton they all hatched on the same day also.
We are in the midst of yet another big hail and rain and thunder storm. I am so tired of it already.

so after reading this I think we are on track as June 15th was day 32 of the last egg to be laid.

Just so you know, eggs don't hatch in the order in which they were laid. Incubation actually begins with egg 3 or the last egg if there are fewer than 3 eggs so that all the eggs should hatch out at about the same time - usually 24-48 hours. The Radisson chicks last year were a very unusual event. Our chicks this year, much more usual event.
