Been keeping an eye on Karl. A very attentive Dad who seems to be doing most of the incubating
Mrs Karl is probably off doing lunch with the other Mums then it's pilates etc. Not sure they can support all four if they hatch though. Distressing video on Poo Tube where a smaller third chick from a previous year gets turned on by the parents and killed. I guess in the animal kingdom sentiment does not come into it. Best to make sure two survive rather than struggling to keep three and maybe losing the lot.

often the smallest chick will be used as food if the natural food source is low too

Perhaps humans should adopt this strategy
Forget about the food bank just kill the smallest kid
