[Liz01]

12:10 the next feeding attempt.

12:11 full crop on the little one

and the egg is loud talking

These branches block the view. This is a pity.

12:11:22 Maybe someone else can get a better picture. The line indicates the crop

11:50:39 the little stork is very agile u is already picking well
and Karl II looks at him, sooo adorable


11:51:42 storklet is eating eagerly, but what ? there must be something small edible

[Liz01]

[balistar]

Anne, what beautiful close-ups


13:42:32 the 3rd has its head out and works eagerly to come out of the shell
unfortunately i can't make a close-up

[Liz01]

14:02 Number 2 is clearly visible

14:01:55 Number1 is on the right. Number 2 is next to number 1 on the left. It's cute head is visible


Number 3 is still in it's egg

Number 2 is as strong as number 1. Two strong storklets are now in the nest

side by side - The zoom unfortunately takes them sharpness

[Summi]

Thank you all for the pics and videos.
It's incredible how they all want to hatch during one day!
It seems to me that Karl II has no time to lift up his legs in turn any more.
Other duties keep him occupied.

[Liz01]

14:55 -14:56 the little ones are very good visible. There was a feeding of Karl II. I do not know if it was successful.

15:03 Kati comes home


Karl II left the nest

[Owlie]

It will be hard to tell the difference between several chicks of same size ...

[Liz01]

Kati gets up, sits down and gets up again.... That was the same with Karl before the second chick hatched

[pazi]

14:57 After some gacking, Karl II finally managed to cough up a wad of dark brown gunk



The older one took a couple of bites, after which K2 ate up the rest. The younger one was interested at first, but still too tired and / or not hungry enough to make an effort to get some



(My work network is blocking the second picture (tinypic host i65) for me, but I checked with phone and it looks to be visible. Thank you Liz for confirmation)
(Edit: I hosted the second picture on picr.de - I want to see it too!)

[Liz01]

15:26 Kati is feeding the storklets with little lampreys Yes, I think these are little lampreys.
Egg is talking

Pazi, great pictures of the eating little storklet

[visit]

well done you storkys ! :-)

i've already some videos but not the time to upload yet, sorry.

but why is kati eating the nest material ?
i think that was nothing of the rest of the eggs, you could see how she took the material, e.g. moss. do you know ?

[Anne7]

14:58:22 The oldest chick is talking to Karl II.
See that posture, so strong, already!


14:58:24 A caring dad and his two firstborn chicks.


15:03 Kati comes home.
"How many hatched now?"
