All 7 chicks look like they are developing well, eyes are open and feathers are forming too!
There seems to be quite a range of sizes and I am hopeful that they will start to fledge very shortly!
As any mother would tell you putting the kids to bed can be a real challenge. Once you’ve put them down to sleep they get up and creep around, chicks are no different it would seem.
Well all 7 eggs hatched and this video from earlier this evening shows them feeding from their mother.
Fingers crossed that they all fledge this year.
After the 5th chicks is born the video below shows the mother disposing of the now empty shell. She is very good with her feet and peak to polish off the shell!
To satisfy the hungry hordes both parents team up to do the round the clock feeding
After months of waiting I can confirm that this morning of the 7 eggs we currently have 4 chicks! Still hopeful that the remaining 3 will hatch shortly!
