2nd egg not hatching

It seems like the 2nd egg might not hatch |=(| Went out to look at the nest yesterday when the mom was away and noticed that the egg had a two tone coloring to it and a very small hole. Today it looks the same. Any ideas on what happened to it? How does the mom deal with a egg that does not hatch?

Oh that's a shame - I have no idea I'm afraid. I wonder what happened...

So sorry to hear the egg did not hatch. I'm glad you kept the blog updated. Though one did not survive one did. Very good photo's!
