Cadence in the igloo this morning (6:30 Houston time), then joined by Jersey Dad for some bowing and conversation.  Then Cadence left and he stayed at the igloo.

 

She is determined to keep him/her warm  LOL!

Does anyone recall if Cadence had blue feet?  Her little one seems to have very pale feet, almost bluish.

I just checked in on the cams and Cadence was backing slowly out of the igloo.  I thought what in the world is she doing!  She got just to the entrance and took a huge poop shot, then went back in to the eyas.    

That little one never seemed quite right since hatching.  My faith is somewhat restored in the male with him removing it from the nest.  Hopeful that all will be good from here on.

I'm at work too.  And I'm in accounting and it's month-end today, but I keep peeking at Cadence and Beauty's brood.

I think the shell is on first mom's 2nd egg, and this one is #2 for Cadence.  And I just saw a little beak poke through that pip!! 

The two aren't fluffballs any longer.  Out in their playpen, plucking feathers.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed a hint of peach on Cadence's chest feathers?

I think all 5 hatched.  And they have a blue footed hammie!   

Egg 2 has hatched; one left to go!   

Banding day today at Pitt.  Two girls and a boy.   

Looks like 3 of the five have hatched so far, according to a post on Facebook.   

Looks like a damp, newly hatched eyas laying to the right (at 4:16).

Good catch!
