More shell scattered about. I don't know why she waits till I'm gone to move this stuff all over creation! :teehee:

I think we have had a hatch here this evening before midnight CDST. I am seeing half an eggshell now near her body. A few minutes ago, (I'm watching TV too.) it had been up against the front ledge and I was trying to decide if the shell that you can see in gigi's pic above that is up against the side wall located at the top of the screen and no longer there, if she had moved that piece up against the ledge. But the half shell I am seeing near her body looks fresh and larger than what had been in gigi's pic. So unless I see something further, maybe gigi will be able to tell in the morning. Oops! And while I was typing this and continuing to watch TV, this new shell is gone. She must have eaten it! Hahaha!! I need to pay attention and quit watching TV ...

This may be a stretch, but maybe there are 4 bodies huddled together.
It's going to be warm today so maybe we'll be able to see more later as the temps go up. :sunsmile:

Feed in progress!

All alert for feeding. Even the little one. We had a bit of a scare yesterday when it got separated from its siblings and ended up near the edge of the box. But somehow it got back under Mama's wing. :loveheart:

We need an “umbrella” emoji for days like this. It must be raining like crazy and the poor parent is Soaked....

A big, plump, pile of chicks in the center of the nest and Mom on the porch facing them.

All 4 chicks are huddled together in the center of the nest and sleeping.

Looks as if the littlest one had a head start on that feed, gigi! Right now they are in an unusual configuration that made me uncomfortable as I saw the talons and leg of one on the top side of the pile and could not find it's head. Went back in and all are upright now, so guess one of the larger ones had toppled over when trying to move.

Chicks are alone right now and piled up sleeping.
