Thanks Ferenz and Catwoman..OK...this is hatch week and I'm a tad nervous!!! At least we are still seeing 4 eggs. Since we never knew the dates of the first clutch, we didn't know how close to hatch they started falling apart..I hope the fact that we are still seeing eggs is a good sign.

Maybe first hatch 6/13?

It seems like it was weeks or maybe a large number of days between the eggs falling apart, so I'm also hopeful since all 4 eggs seem to still be intact. This pair has been through so much that I'd like to see them have a healthy family! :clap:

Thanks for the heads up Beth..

I may have duplicate pics here...Not looking good for the pale egg..the darker egg almost looks like a normal pip...but, who knows..

I'm afraid this isn't gonna be "pretty" if she pulls this egg apart...

Harriet continues to chip away at the egg..

This egg is either pipped or falling apart..at this point, who knows..

They are really monitoring the situation via the cam...Maybe we'll have an explanation/interpretation later on today..

I don't know about the egg, but Harriet is looking beautiful.

It looks like the pale egg came close to hatching if it isn't hatching.

She suddenly looks down like she's hearing something, so I think she will end up with at least 1 chick! :clap:

Wow, yikes! I don't remember ever seeing anything like this before, anywhere! Hopefully she's getting her full of calcium. Fortunately the weather has been unseasonably cool for them and cloudy many of the incubation days. Small miracles are good here. Crossing my fingers and toes!

I'm really not holding out any hope for that pale egg. There does look like something in there..is it mature enough to survive? You can see what appears to be a change from pic #2 to #3.

I'm not sure the pale egg is still there.

Pip is larger...fingers crossed that this one is ok...

The pipped egg has really progressed...fingers crossed here...Ozzie has been in but Harriet wouldn't leave...good sign, I hope...
