Foulshaw Moss: It was reported on CWT Disqus chat, that there was a chick hatching at around 18:45 this evening. First sighting at 20:55. YW saw his chick for the first time at 21:34 when he delivered a fish.
Foulshaw have their first chick. They were expecting a hatch 2 days ago (day 37 for 1st egg) So it’s late or it’s the 2nd egg?
Announcement on X earlier tonight.

I didn’t see your post Sandra until after I posted mine. That’s great that YW delivered a fish tonight.
26th May
Foulshaw Moss:
According to chat, there was a second hatch this morning
Thanks Sandra. I checked X and they posted this earlier.
May 28
The bobs are doing well. Latest post from Foulshaw X
.
Still 2 bobs this morning, I haven't seen a feed yet:
IMAGICAT
Still 2 chicks and 1 egg this afternoon
It's probable that the third egg isn't going to hatch (now at 39 days since being laid)
Foulshaw announced on X on the 22nd May that it was 37 days since the first egg was laid and were expecting a hatching that day. It was 2 days later that an egg hatched on the 24th May. I’m wondering if it was egg #2 that hatched then and #3 thereafter? Which would make #1 the egg that’s left and won’t hatch now?
