Today at 10:21 we spotted Pip movement in the third egg. You can see the chick's beak moving inside the egg. At 10:53 the Pip site looked a bit larger.
We are under snowy weather today. Jackie and Shadow may hunker down for the whole day and skip the feedings, even though there is plenty of food on the nest. Protecting the chicks from the elements is very important.
They ate very well and had very full crops yesterday, so they should be fine for a few days on the contents of their crops.
Hatching is a long process. It may take a day or more for the chick to fully emerge from the shell.
We are expecting sunny weather tomorrow. Just in time for the new Chick3!
Meanwhile, we will remain patient and hold the most positive thoughts.
