  1. I'll keep the stream live more once the action picks up a bit - there's not a great deal going on at the moment!

  2. We saw the first egg this morning although it was covered up most of the day. I'll put a still up once the video has processed.

  6. 9 eggs today. According to the BTO website, they start incubating they day before they lay their last egg so if that's right, that should be it.
    If the stream isn't live, click on the youtube button in the bottom right of the stream to watch lots of archived video.
