Thanks Karen. Any further visits at yours? Sue Just this morning there was a double visit, they both hung around for a while and played with the moss, will see if she comes back, will post again if anything happens.

Sue your description of the mum on the nest reminds me of seeing one of our mums getting up from the nest. A bit like me getting going in the morning

Well, I was hoping for some Coronation chicks today, but not to be . Here is a short clip of female returning from her break in the rain to her clutch of 9 eggs. Having to attend a party tomorrow so bet it will all happen then Sue

Hope you don't miss the hatching Sue Thanks Sammi. Hopefully I wont It was a bit of wishful thinking/hoping that it might be today whilst I was here watching the Coronation. It will be ‘you know who’s’ law if it’s tomorrow. Sue

Fingers crossed for a delayed hatching then Sue. That would be great Beechnut, but it’s bound to be while I’m out though. Sue

Well here we go, not a very entertaining or clear video but it means the world to me. The chicks have started hatching To say i'm excited is an understatement. You may just catch a glimpse of a tiny gape. Will publish something better when i can see them clearly. Two or three hatched at moment. Sue

Hurray! Great news! Love it when you get a glimpse of the egg actually cracking...feels like you're getting a really privileged view of something magical.

Parents getting into the swing of feeding but Mum being a little selfish at the moment and wants to do it all herself. Dad has sneaked in a couple of times and tried his hand though Sue

Been trying to get a shot to find out how many have actually hatched. I can see one egg still unhatched but can only get 7 gapes so maybe there is another egg under all those little chicks. If i find out any different i will of course post again. Sue
