Is part of the shell still stuck to the chick? Well, she's munching on the big piece and one egg is over to the side or it might be the other part of the hatched shell.

It's the other part of the shell, but she just tucked the big part under her too with the chick. New mothers do the funniest things sometimes.

I had my settings wrong, so this is somewhat jerky...I'm sure somebody will have a longer and better version..

Mary Ellen is a mother! :loveshow: Congrats to her & S!

Thanks for the videos, SGB & Kitten & everyone for the great captures! She's really checking this chick out--guess she's removing pieces of shell from it. Glad it hatched now & not when it was cold out cause she's too curious about it to keep it covered.

That poor chick is having a time. I thought that she was going to squeeze it's head between the eggs. It's head seems big too. I can't remember now where that chick that had the big head was before. It might have been at this nest. Well, Of course it wasn't too big, just my imagination. I hope that she's finished pecking it, that's makes me nervous.

Hope we have another hatch tonight.

She sure is a clean freak! She cleaning up every bit of shell off the baby & around the baby. Let's see if she keeps a clean nest once she starts feeding! :teehee:

Thanks so much for the vid, KF..you should have left the screaming in there!!

Here's what's so interesting and gave me a chuckle.

While the egg was hatching here, the egg was hatching at Genesee..granted, its more of a refresh cam, so I know I missed some things, but maybe not...

New Mom Vs Pro Mom

Mary Ellen is picking and groping and looking and counting toes and scrunching...and then looking and picking some more...playing with the baby, picking up stuff, total excitement..

Genesee Mom pulls out part of shell and goes back to sleep. Pulls out second half of shell and goes back to sleep. Stands up to look at baby and goes back to sleep.

There could not have been a bigger contrast between these two. I literally caught myself laughing out loud. I wish I had taken comparison pics at each stage. What a hoot!!!

Dad got a few seconds with baby, then mom returned with food, I guess from the cache. She didn't get quite close enough, but baby is getting a few bites. (I was waiting for her to plop the food down next to baby & say, "ok, eat"!) :teehee:

Click on thumbnails for larger pictures

I think this first feeding went quite well. Baby looked strong, held it's head up nicely.
ME stashed the remains in the bottom-right corner (our right).
Sawatzke came a few times with food yesterday, I guess they were filling the fridge for today :lol:
