Second chick is definitely hatched but still in shell

Should be out pretty soon.

My screenshots are similar.
6:07 am 6:09 am I think we can't declare a hatch time until it's completely out of the shell - but it looked very close!

Cheryl thanks for taking the cams. Yes, I see the 2nd chick is still in the shell, correct?

Too busy watching to get a screenshot, but tiny one's wings were working really hard as s/he tried to pull him/herself out of the shell - but not quite yet. Those tiny, tiny wings are so cute!

Ma continues to be very vocal. Ma could be hearing the workers down below.
Who knows.

Very brief look - lots of fluff and shell - don't think #2 is completely out yet.
6:56 am
Tiny one might be out - very hard to be sure, though.

Are the streaming cams working? I can’t find a link that seems to work.

I believe the second chick is free from the egg shell.
Looks like it. Maybe someone else can confirm.

Sandy, Cheryl - I think that makes three of us who think the tiny one was out at 6:56 am - anyone else? Or anyone disagree?
Kitcat, link is https://www.hancockwildlife.org/delta-2-cams/ You can find it by going to the new website https://www.hancockwildlife.org - if you have a larger screen or viewing window, you'll see a Live Cams link in the menu bar at the top; on narrower screens, there are three blue lines on the upper right (sometimes called "the hamburger") that you can click to see the site index.

Added - no shift change, Cheryl - and I'm guessing Dad isn't about to appear unless he has food.
7:09 am
I think I was wrong - he brought a lovely stick instead.
(Unless I missed something - I am doing two things at once)

Ma keeps looking down and positioning herself.
These two little ones are very active.

Thanks JudyB. I was there but for me the cams were down. Just went back and although it appeared they were down, I clicked anyway and got them. All the HWF cams have been acting a little weird lately.JudyB wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 7:03 amSandy, Cheryl - I think that makes three of us who think the tiny one was out at 6:56 am - anyone else?

Drink wasn't alcohol, though your comment was funny!
