I saw 2 active pips - I saw the shell  moving like a tiny trap door

shep:
2 HATCHs
Sept 30, 2022 in Oz
3.15 am  Mom is eating the shell
There is the fluffy chick!!
7 am  there is chick #2

Sep 29 Mom brought prey to nest.  She struggled with it - chupping as if feeding her chicks.  I am sure she hears the chicks hatching.

It appears BOTH male and female are new this year, and this may be a first time mom.

Hurley post today
 I can now confirm 3 have pipped.
[Pipping is when the embryo cuts out it first hole in the shell which is a breathe hole it needs to get more oxygen and then hatching begins.]  Hatching for these eggs should be complete within 24 hours. The first may even have fuly hatched this afternoon.
Given the interrupted incubation schedule this is a very welcome sign!

The male is beginning to show positive interest in chicks.  GOOD.
