Update It hatched!!! Thank you all for your help :) Now, 4 eggs are left, so the mother is still sitting - should I feed her in the nest while she is waiting for the others to hatch?? I know that its not a good idea because of the poop but... she has to eat and drink at least a small...

Update! She left the nest for about 20 minutes, and I saw that one of the eggs has an external pip!!! Now she is back again :) How long will it take to hatch?? Im so excited!!!!
