Well another day begins with the night-time. EJ is fidgiting again and rolling the eggs although the chicks sound quiet now and Lady at LOTL is having a moment - fidgiting a bit but now settled down.
All you early watchers I hope you find that EJ's 1st chick will have hatched. Capture it if you can and we will find out in the morning.
Goodnight all.

I know AQ. She keeps fidgeting and I think she'll finally get up but she just settles back down again. She should be going for a fly-about pretty soon...
Just caught sight of two eggs as she was moving them and can hear the chick, but she is definitely refusing to let us have a peep.
Egg with a hole in it??? Or not???
Hard to tell if it is the normal dark marking on the shell or a hole.
I don't think that mark is anything different. We can get quick glimpse of parts of the eggs when she shuffles, but she certainly isn't getting up and moving around like she usually does. Also has her head down a lot more than normal in past mornings....
Meanwhile, at LOTL, Marge is sitting serenely on her chicks with occasional fussing (similar movements to EJ) - that one egg is still off to the side, right? So she's decided two's enough?
She's not going to move and give anyone a look is she? LOL Beautiful morning there. I'm off to bed. Happy watching everyone!
Take care Diane.
First fish just delivered at LOtL. She has just shown that she is still sitting on one egg and two chicks, Annette. The shell to the side is yesterday's hatching.
Good Night Diane.
