The struggle for Life
7.30 am Dec 25, 2018
If wee Julietta our Christmas chick is going to emerge - it will be today.
She is fighting for freedom - pushing .. pushing .. from under the egg

Thank you Ferenz and loza for pics, video, notes

:hatchegg:

NO HATCH - just the struggle

If they are doing their skydance, they have mated.
That Christmas chick is struggling UNDER the shell -
he needs a parent to roll it offa him. He may be OUT.
Romeo pushs the eggs but doesnt roll them
ugh

:nervous:

I could not help myself...had to check in before heading out. Merry Christmas!

Romeo keeps looking overhead every now and then. I wonder if the eagles that Ferenz saw soaring were females. The reason I say this is because Romeo brought back a headless fish an hour ago and it is STILL in the pantry. During the last few days, no food has lasted in the nest for a mere second. The newest female is either too full from the three fish of last night, along with one from this morning, or else she is preoccupied with another female.

Its nearly out - in a way its out
it appears to be hatching fairly dry
I want to call her Julie . not a letter and a number
She is the last of Juliet
Romeo had a fish for her earlier
