Dinner and DC is watching. She left him for a few seconds with food. If he had started feeding, I think she would have left him to feed, but he was slow to get in front of kids.

They are so darn cute... the whole family...

She's really moving. I think she wants that final egg to hatch.

I"m not sure about that egg mw, it looks like the one that had a dimple on day one when we thought we saw a pip. I wonder if it's not damaged but everyone keeps saying they hear the 'baby' in the egg but I don't :egg16:

She didn't start heavy incubation until all 4 eggs were laid so in theory, if it was going to hatch, it should have by now with the others. :egg16:

I can hear peeps. Again, sounds like gurgles or fluttering tummy sounds to me. Not the barking sounds.

I thought she started on 4/14, and laid 4th on 4/15? That's why we thought maybe 5 because she didn't start on 4/13 after 3rd was laid.

Well if everyone but me can hear it then maybe my hearing is going too :egg21:

No, none of your senses are going!!! Too many nests to follow.

That baby is not going 100%. It was quiet for hours.. After dinner, it's making noise again.

And remember, I'm the one who thinks I'm nuts... I have to tell you, I was so afraid to say anything about hearing them, the same thing with Columbus, because I was afraid I was wrong and would be saying, "I can hear the kids" and then not have a hatch or something... Same thing here. I think I hear them, then hold by breath hoping we have hatches. :egg8:

I swear I heard the noises too, mw...like that chugging, barking noise you described.

Video of dinner with Beauty and DC - It's long. Don't forget, use the little gear to speed it up.

It's about 1:03am. Beauty is restless and wiggling all over trying to help egg 4 hatch. She obviously didn't get too much time off the nest today and back up to the front of box and just pooped. Immediately back to kids and egg, shaking like mad.

She's been busy for hours now with a little sleep break in between.

Here you can see her backing up and the egg still intact.

Good morning! Beauty & DC have a full house now according to Rochester Chat! :clap:

The people who have gotten a look at #4 say its still wet--welcome to the world, little one! :flirty:

There was quite a harmony when Beauty first brought the food in. They now have a quartet! :eggthumbup:
