[Gavril]

16:38. Teo arrived with a nice fish tail. It seems that bream. Tina this time entrusted Teo eggs. She flew off with the fish.

Gavril, the egg with the hole is the first laid egg. Info DD Forum Member

Yes, Liz! I know. The second egg a suspicious color with a dent, the third egg bright.

16:44. Teo went for a walk. The chick is a little visible in a small hole.

[Abigyl]

16:54 It is very visible; works hard because he wants to see the world asap

In previous years we weren't able to see well how it goes in this stage, but thanks to all new technologies in phone & computer we can see it like a good nature documentary
It's exciting !!

Ähm, to translate from Lativian to German with GT is mostly a "funny" thing. I always get curious storys and understand nearly nothing

It can be you saw the egg tooth. Chick need it to make a hole in the eggshell. It' a tiny thing (like a pimple ) of especially hardened material at the tip of the beak. It disappears little by little (some days).
Pic is from another nest, you can see the egg tooths. Chick in the egg is working with it, the other one is some hours old.

Thank you for the further interesting information! So sweet
The little one is working hard.

The fact that Tina did not fly away from the nest to eat the fish and the fact that she didn't trust her husband the care of the eggs, tells me that Tina is an experienced mother.

Gavril, seems the fishtail was only not enough for Tina, with more fish it works for Teo and a rest in cozy nestbowl


16:44 Teo flies off and chick works hard at eggshell (pics endlarged)

18:02. Tina turns the eggs.

I hope that tomorrow morning I will see the first chick...of your videos, dear friends!

19:58 Teo brings a nice fish for Tina.Tina is in a hurry and eats fish in the nest very fast. Teo notes no chance for him to sit on eggs and he leaves. No time for Tina to eat the fishtail

Great photos!

How long does it normally take for the egg to hatch?
Will we see the chick today?

Jojo, sadly nobody know if we see the chick today. Sometimes it needs only few hours and sometimes more than a day to hatch. Tina is restless now, whatever it means ...
