As far as I can tell there are 3 chicks and one egg.  Little behinds and wings keep falling out so there is a lot of "shuggling" going on.  The chicks are so soft, white and clean looking!  Whoever is on the nest hasn't been still for a minute...........maybe another hatch soon?

[Baffled]

Shift change!
Still two eggs, but one looked like it had a pip, so perhaps we'll have three chicks by the time the day is out.

[Baffled]

Just got a great glimpse of two chicks and one egg still intact. Couldn't see enough to determine whether the fourth egg was egg or chick by now. Exciting times!

How about 2 now

[Cammie]

Jsut caught a glimpse of a baby!!

2 babies

[Cammie]

It's quiet right now....she has shifted around a bit but nothing is visible - especially with her tail right in the camera!

[Donna]

1/2 an egg shell was just thrown out from under mom ! 

[eagle63_1999]

Yeah I noticed that too, and she is talking too.

[kittenface]

Something is going on she is squirming alot eating gravel and looking under

[Kinderchick]

...Perhaps she's sensing some movement in the eggs, and we are close to hatching!

Yes, Baffled... Website says hatch will be tomorrow or Saturday!

[Baffled]

I've been watching for about an hour this morning, and the Mother has been pretty restless:  a bit of cleaning, and a lot of shuffling around and changing position.
Perhaps she's sensing some movement in the eggs, and we are close to hatching!

Ha Ha Sami....like the description, "the roar of the plant".

Can't wait for these eggs to hatch.

[sami]

I've heard that at times, too, but the roar of the plant itself is missing.

I seem to be getting sound okay.  I heard the chupping earlier when Dad showed up for his shift.
