After feeding, the female disposes of the eggshell.
The female is very diligent. Feed, warm, feed, warm...
I hope the male will join in the feeding soon.

female is busy feeding.
I will not comment on every feeding, that would overload the forum .

female feeds and all seven chicks are hungry.
The chicks' droppings are still eaten by the mother. Later it is collected and disposed of outside.
