Princess is still incubating the last egg ... the "egg" you can see against the far wall is actually eggshell from one of the earlier chicks.

So we could say the chick pile is an incurbator.

Was just wondering the same thing.  TPC???

I think Princess is in there right now.  I only can see 3 chicks and no egg in the pile.  Way in the distance is what looks like an egg.  It that the 4th egg or is it one of the shells from the chicks that have hatched?  Or are the chicks just hiding the remaining egg?

There *might* have been a bit of egg visible at the back of chick pile when Princess shuffled back on top, but the shadows could be playing tricks on me.
We'll have to wait to get the definitive word from TPC.

Feeding time!

3 chicks eating. Egg is not visible, unless it is behind the chick pile. Although, there does seem to be egg (or bit of egg) in the far end of the nestbox.

I just started watching after work . . . has the 4th egg been discarded? Anyone know?

Ivy finally got up the courage to come in and start feeding with Princess.  Now she has headed back out and he is feeding the three (yes still three) chicks all by himself!!

Awwwwwe, what a great Dad!! :-*

He seems a bit disconcerted at the mobility of the chicks as compared to eggs as he works to get them under.
