Has anyone else noticed a little hole in the last egg? Mama stood up and cocked her head at the egg while peeps wiggled around in nest, and I think the whole has gotten large enough for us to see, or is it another shadow? |

It definitely looks like a hole to me.
I just had a great view of the chicks being fed from a large fish. Betty made sure both chicks had their share. |

Well I just had 30 sec. glance but now what I thought was a pip looks like a normal spotting on the egg. Could be the lighting or egg was in different position. Oh boy - back to waiting, huh? |

Oh thank goodness, it's back on.... Betty's been fiddling about and getting agitated...and shielding the egg/hatchling so I couldn't see very well.... but now she's brooding again. I'm sure my eyes weren't deceiving me and we now have chick no. 3. |

Thanks Daisy. You should post your obs. Its good if one ob is confirmed by others. Plus you might report something just alittle differently then me or others. Which makes reading the obs that much better. All my obs have their times adjusted so if your reading this Dave you can zero in easier if you require clips. |

I should shouldn't I Mickey? I just got so excited and posted here instead!
I saw all three chicks a little while ago and Betty nibbling on the eggshell.
Then Dennis joined them briefly, no doubt to check on the new arrival. |

Well it's good to see that this time the "spot" on the egg really was a PIP. And the baby chick is a "pip" too! Congrats to the happy family. |
