Aww...poor little one! I was wondering how all those babies would cram themselves into that small space...especially when those long legs started growing@

Glad you didn’t chuck your computer across the room, thinking it was the problem. LOL!

They have plenty of room on the nest but it’ll get tight when they get larger. There’ll still be room for all of them, though. Those nests are huge.
They pile up for warmth now because their bodies can’t self-regulate body temps. The tiny chick just got buried underneath the pile and couldn’t breathe.

Their legs are short at this point, like their beaks. All will get longer over the next couple of months. No way full-length legs would fold up to fit inside those small eggs. LOL
