There should be a 3d egg this morning,
as both of them are in the nest box right now.
It's 7.55 am right now here in Calgary
and that is about the time she lays.
Also I can hear the other pair with the one baby feeding it.

I can't wait to hear the squeaking in the morning!! I'm estimating mine to hatch around the 3rd. [-o< [-o<

I'm a coward and am not going to try and candle the eggs. They are sittign so tight on the nest that I am scared I will disrupt them and they may abandon. I figure I'll just sit back and TRY to be patient and let nature take it's course.

I got the same thing. I have to clear it aside every day to check the eggs and during the day he builds the ceiling back. As longs as he's in the nest, whether he is sitting on the eggs or redecorating im happy

Well, I thought they started to sit yesterday, as they were in the box all day.
This morning to my surprise there is a fifth egg.
I guess they skipped a day?
