Surprise chick today

Our pair of Grand Eclectus parrots have been sitting on eggs, but as usual they made a right old mess on them. So as usual one of them was lost (chick dead in shell) and the other I thought was going to be lost also and almost threw the egg away a couple of days ago. However much to my surprise a looked in the box and found a little chick in there. The Vosmaeri still have their chick now around 12 days old. Being trying hard to get to have a look in the box, but the hen is being particularly defensive and I don't want to spook her as she has a habit of taking her anoyance out on the babies if she gets upset. Still no eggs from the Red Sided pair inspite of some enthusiastic mating which I have seen from my house.
