:sum9: :hapdance: Congratulations! We have a beautiful new baby here. This is Cady's baby, given the timing. I am so glad for her and especially for Dad, who has been incubating these eggs for an eternity. Has Dad seen his baby yet?

10:17 am - Cady and her 1st born.

10:18 am - Look at that stubby little tail.

Always a little nerve wrecking when a hatch happens to a first-time mother :nervous: But I think it's okay now.

38 days after Cadence laid her first egg, so that is perfectly normal. (This year's average between 1st egg and 1st hatch is currently 39.24 days)

Thank you for the info. I was wondering if it was because the larger clutch size and 1st time incubation by new mom...

Cadence began full incubation with the 1st egg she laid since there were already two of Mom's in the nest. Dad was already in full incubation mode. Egg development is 33 days and begins from the start of full incubation, which can vary depending on how many eggs are laid and odd circumstances like at this nest. Cady laid eggs on 4/22, 4/24, and 4/27. Hatching should have started for each on 5/25, 5/27, and 5/30. I suspect that this hatch is either her 2nd or 3rd egg. Cady has been restless for several days, so this hatch may be the 2nd egg, but this hatch could also be the last egg she laid. I am hoping for one more hatch, but I'll be happy with whatever we get.

:clap: We have another on the way. Nice pip visible in the egg on the right. Cady doing a lot of pebble picking, building up the mound around the scrape.

I saw the large crack, took a snap, but wasn't sure if it was the shell from hatch 1 over a different egg, or if it was a potential 2nd hatch.

Glad you saw movement...

That was my thought as well. I hope it's a 2nd hatch happening, but I don't think so.

:flirty: Dad looks so proud seeing his baby for the 1st time. Love how he examines it and bonds with it.

12:13 pm - Cady leaves. Baby drying nicely. Hole in the top of the egg to the right of baby's head.
Image

12:17 pm - Dad inspecting and bonding with his baby for the 1st time.
Image

12:36 pm - Nice pic of that sweet little baby face and Dad. You can also see the cracks in the brown egg in front of baby.
Image

Dad is good at covering the new arrival...when he is not doing nestorations...lol. He is doing quite a bit of housekeeping since he came in.

Other possible egg... I do think it is the eggshell over another egg... You can see it better from this angle, under Dad's tail.

UC - Here comes Cady with food...

Practicing getting small bits.

Now she just needs to get a little closer to baby.

So cute.

Cady is eating. She hasn't tried to feed yet. Baby is upright, holding its head up, and opening its mouth already. Strong little tyke.

1:03 pm - Dad leaves. Baby holding head up nicely.
Image

1:05 pm - Another pic of baby. Dark shadow cast on the right is Cady dragging in prey.

Well...she just dropped the entire pigeon on top of baby. Poor Cady is not quite sure how to do this...lol.

1:11 pm - Cady tried to feed a whole headless pigeon to baby, dropping in on the baby.
