Hatched some time before 12:30 AM

Hatched some time between 12:30 and 3:30 AM.

10 eggs set. One died around day 8 or 9. Another is still in the incubator, although I suspect it's dead. It seems to be several days from hatch, but I still see veins.

7 of 8 that made it to lockdown hatched. The other failed to internally pip but is still in the incubator JIC.

Not absolute, but I think this is a male (the yellow) and a female.

She was distressed because I took her out of the bin. When I put her back, he herded her into the corner and stood guard, which is exactly what their father did.
