Full house (well almost!) - two parents and six chicks in Box1. The seventh chick seems to have disappeared overnight.

Wills seems to be playing his part well. In the first 5 minutes of recording this morning, he brought food to the chicks 6 times!
It's still difficult to see how many chicks have hatched out in Box2. However, I think you can see here that 3 eggs are still in one piece.
A good picture of 6 eager chicks in Box1 together with Wills.
In Box2 there are now at least 7 chicks ...
... and three eggs.
So there is just the little matter of whether the eleventh egg has hatched or not!
There are clearly 8 chicks and 3 eggs here - and as 3 + 8 = 11 the missing item above was a chick!
Box1 still has 6 chicks.

Finally at the end of the day, there are still 6 chick in Box1.
