Hatched!!!!

The three blackbird eggs have hatched -today I think.

I will be giving regular reports of their progress in extras if not my main picture.
I try not to get too emotionally invested because the success rate for birds bringing up chicks is varied but I have high hopes because she successfully raised 3 chicks last year.
UPDATE- The chicks fledged successfully. I took a picture of them every day and if you page forward you will see them grow. It took less than 2 weeks for them to be fully feathered and leave the nest.
