Poppy Mod :
C 9, Charlotte and Charlie’s 1st chick, emerged yesterday, June 13 at 3:58 am MDT from its shell.
Why seems the first egg non-viable?
That might happen for various reasons: It might not have been fertilized, the development might have stopped at a certain point, due to tiny hair cracks in the shell that made it possible for bacteria to get in, biological reasons stopping the embryo from developing, too dry and hot weather. After Day 50 an egg is considered as a fail.

C9 Rescue Mission
RknRbn Mod :
C9 has a piece of fish lodged in it's beak. ORI (Matt) is on his way to try to remove it.

Update from ORI: Though they generally have a policy against interfering with the course of nature, they have reason to believe that it is manmade material – possibly fishing gear – that is causing the problem. Matt is on his way up from Missoula now. He and Liberty will go to the nest and see if they can remove whatever is causing the problem.

More information from ORI: Even though it looked in video and photo like it could have been fishing line, it was in fact just
a piece of stuck and dried fish. Matt quickly removed it. He thinks that it probably would have shed it eventually, but all should be well now. We are glad that they had the opportunity to check and make sure it was not a more complicated issue, and thank everyone for your photos and videos we shared with them.
Would you please post the link from this cam? Thanks in advance.
