So maybe the recent hatching of a 3rd chick is the reason why Princess would not leave the chicks & let Smiley take over for awhile. :-\

June 5

As of 0935h - still 1 chick, 3 eggs

After the rain stopped, Smiley started making pretty regular visits to the nestbox, mostly with food I think through the night = 0148h, 0319h (mealtime I think), 0435h (refused), 0442h (mealtime), 0501h (wo food), 0616h (wo food), 0619h, 0626h (failed handover? or refusal?), 0632h (mealtime), 0850h (meal for Princess, chick napped).

Thank you so much for tracking all these visits, TPC. I was feeling confident about Smiley, but did not expect he would be that attentive so soon! :o

I am very happy for Smiley as a first time Daddy!

Great news about a 2nd hatch! ;D Wasn't expecting a hatch mid day... Yes, I saw Smiley visiting & might have taken over, had Princess let him. LOL!

Smiley just popped in for a visit, but Princess didn't get off the chicks/eggs.

 ;D ;D For sure, another chick has hatched. The view makes this phanatic think there may be a third today. I could be wrong, I have been wrong before. Excitement builds.

Second hatch video for those who can't access the cams or who want to watch it again (and again and again and ...)

Another hatch!
Princess shuffled around, so the chick is still partly underneath its shell.

Looks like another chick is hatching, it's still partly in the shell.  :)   Darn she turned around.

...with Squishy-fluffy...
Great name/descriptor!  

Don't all dads say that about their newborns?  ;)

Have just seen another feeding. This little chick seems so much stronger than yesterday. How fast they evolve.
