At 7.03 am this morning the 13th May 08 Aella's first chick hatched
 
 
Here she is consuming the egg shell, a good source of calcium, to replace that lost during the egg laying
This video clip if you listen carefully you can hear the chick breaking through the eggshell

 

 
 
In this picture you can see the pale body of the recently hatched chick

 

Look how it struggles to lift its heavy head for the first time

 

 
 
Another view from the side, its using another egg as a pillow

 

Watch the chicks being fed in this video
 

 
Omega who has, for the last few days been feeding Aella form outside the box, has now shown his true metal, keeping feeding up at good pace
 
Another chick has hatched
 
 
The view from the side camera, which if I say so myself, i am quite pleased with this year.
You get a good view of the two young ones here
 
 
More action from the nest today

 

Aella consumes another eggshell, this must be from a third chick

 

 
 
At the rate they are coming I will have a job keeping up with them

 

Omega is trying to feed one of the chicks, he does not quite have the patience of Aella
 
 
Suddenly there are four, i must have missed one while typing this
Final views from this evening
