Egg #3 finally hatching!!!  I saw the baby but the archives didnt' catch it, she was fast to cover!

Is this odd looking?

Maybe pieces of shell, I see one small piece by B now...

Woohoo...just got word that we have a hatch here!!  Waiting for photos, Lucie is heading to the site.

Congratulations Aria and Indie and Grandma B and Grandpa DC!!!

 

Early morning feeding for DC 

Ok now I see it again...grrrr



Another egg on the way to hatching in this photo:

Atta girl B, the shell is off and out beside her now!  Good girl  

I think the shell was still on. You can see it here in the first attachment. That would mean the discarded shell came from a 2nd hatch. Also notice that the eyas isn't quite dry. The 2nd attachment shows what looks like two eyases, one on each side of Beauty.

Good morning!  Yay on second hatch and boo on that eggshell.  Dang that was a fast second hatch!

I see DC still has that scar/lack of feathers on his head that he got rather mysteriously almost a year ago. He must have been defending the territory in some way, shape or form. He doesn't seem to mind that he's not perfect anymore.

Yup, same as Beauty still has the scar/missing feathers on the right side of her face from her fight with Unity oh so many years ago.

I have often wondered if he didn't battle with Fission.

Poor DC  

It's funny, though, because the first shell didn't crack that way. It cracked in an oblong fashion. If you look at the hatch photo, it seems like it wouldn't fit onto the other egg. On the other hand, though, where is it if it's not on the other egg?

I checked through the archives and that egg it's on now didn't have the color variance before.  It's the half shell from the hatch.  Hopefully her shimmying will take it off, it has in the past.  And if you look at this hatch photo, you can see the top of the shell came off and that's the one she has been munching on.  The bottom half is wrapped around the egg now.

Yes, it looks like we might have a problem here. Thanks for your falcon eye, Carly.

Not the first she's done this.  Hopefully she catches it like she has in the past.  Just makes me nervous.

She didn't give him much time on the eggs but he didn't seem to mind this time.

He took off alarm kakking.

Oh dear, hopefully just being over protective. The stream had crashed for me so I had the refresh cams up.

On the light colored one ..is that part of the first shell wrapped around the egg?
