2nd Bald Eagle Egg Hatches At Duke Farms In Hillsborough: Video

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Another baby Bald Eagle chick has made its appearance into the world. The second and final bald eagle egg hatched earlier in the morning on Tuesday. (See the live video below)

The second chick began to make its way out of the egg on Sunday, Feb. 27, and finally cracked through on March 1.

The arrival of the second chick was in line with predictions at the nature preserve. Nora DiChiara, director of programs and strategic planning at Dukes Farms, predicted the second egg would hatch around March 1 or 2.

The chicks will then most likely fledge, or become capable of flying, by the middle of May, DiChiara previously said.

The first of two eggs hatched around 3:15 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 24. Read More: 1st Bald Eagle Egg Hatches At Duke Farms In Hillsborough

The first bald eagle egg of 2022 was laid at 3:37 p.m. Jan. 17, and the second egg arrived at 3:52 p.m. Jan. 20.

The eggs and the bald eagle parents can be seen on Duke Farms' Eagle cam, which live streams the nest 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Three bald eagle eggs were laid in 2021; two successfully hatched, and one died. An attack by an intruder at the nest is believed to possibly be linked to the reason the final egg did not hatch. Read More: Attack At NJ Bald Eagle Nest After 1st Egg Arrives At Duke Farms
