We don't actually see the egg in this, but we see the egg later. There are 3.
This is the hen going through the process from just before her feathers ruffle until she gets up and changes position.

Thanks for the updates, Bill - it's been a while since there were three eggs here (and I think this is a new female since the last time). Keeping fingers crossed that the intruder moves on now.
She was new last season and raised 2 eaglets to fledge Judy

There's about a foot of snow on the nest and the hen has been sitting on them diligently. However, Dad wants a turn on the eggs. So, he pecks on the hen, through the snow, until she relents. But then she decides that she's had enough of this "time off" shtuff, reclaims her seat and settles back in.
