Why the eggs from Big Bear's internet-famous eagles may never hatch

The world is watching bald eagle parents, Jackie and Shadow, in California’s Big Bear Valley as the pair take turns caring for their eggs, waiting for them to hatch. But the eaglets everyone is hoping to see may never come.

However, after this weekend, all of Jackie and Shadow’s eggs are now over 38 days incubated based on the dates provided by the organization, as March 11 marks day 40 for the last egg laid. The data on elfruler’s blog also shows that the first egg in an eagle’s clutch of multiple eggs almost always takes longer to hatch than the ones laid after it. This is usually due to the fact that later eggs are incubated more consistently than earlier eggs, therefore developing more quickly and hatching in less time, according to elfruler.

“It is often impossible to know whether a broken or unhatched egg was infertile or nonviable,” elfruler said.
