7:30 It's getting dark now. We probably won't see a thing until morning. Let's all hope and pray the little one can make it out of the egg.
The IR is on now.

Mrs BB does get up to take a break. Shadow goes to the eggs.
He's being very gentle and careful with the eggs.
He's settled on the eggs now.

8: 19 am Looks like the chick is finally all the way out of the shell.
Also looks like it rolled over too. It was on it's back. Shadow is being so gentle! This is amazing to watch!
Shadow moved some of the egg shell out of the way.
