OH / Dayton - Boonshoft - 2009-16
GCG:
;D Dayton is sunning herself on the ledge. The chicks are in their own worlds. Two are in a faceplant position and the third is preening. Little diva! Oops, just looked again. All three are in faceplants position.
GCG:
Confirmed, there are 3 chicks who are active. Just watched Dayton, sitting, and I do mean sitting on the chicks. You can see her talons. No longer can she lay on the chicks. LOL!
GCG:
Have just looked in on Dayton and chicks. No sign of Daniel. What you see in Alison's photo is the same with Dayton sitting on the chicks. My guess, there is at least one nonviable egg, pushed aside. There were 4 eggs laid but from the photos, I saw two chicks and the discarded egg. ??? Where did the fourth egg go? ???
Alison:
gemcitygemini, this is for you.
From the Dayton blog today, which also has a really nice pic of the two chicks.

Hatching has occurred! As of Monday afternoon one egg shell could be seen outside the scrape. Early this morning two or three eggs were seen broken in the nest box. Dayton sat tight on the nest this morning, possibly more than typical due to the temperature being in the 30s, but one chick was seen peeking out from under her. Around 8:45am she took a quick break out of the box and two chicks and one egg are visible in the nest.

Thank you, Alison. It's feeding time.
