Feeding the hatchling before its even dry strikes me as very unusual

Dad was in the box but he left before I could capture it.

Feed #2. The left one spent most the feed on his the back. :egg15:

I've never seen so many feeds as this pair.
They are SO chatty!
Feeds short but frequent.

5.30 am I cant be certain if that is 2 adorable white fluffballs or 3
They are too huddled up!

There ARE 2 so far
7.30 am I see 2 eggs which look like the chicks will crawl out this morning

This male acts as if he is new to fatherhood in a few ways.
But what do I know. This pair lost their brood last year, maybe he needs practice.

I didn't get a good look at the eggs, but here is an early breakfast..

I can see white between the two chicks. There could be three...hard to tell. The male blocked the beginning of the feed and I couldn't see. :girlcrazy:
