12.11 Kergu stands up, good PS. He rolls the eggs.
Little chick is chirping and moving.



There is also egg talk from the second egg.

He stands up and adjusts his position several times.

first good view on the hatchling - cute little one (and the egg is talking loud)

14.12 Kergu tried to feed. He only managed to regurgitate one larger fish. No feeding.

Also, it started raining.

15.30 Kergu attempts to feed again. This time he regurgitates a larger amount of food. (fish)
He consumes the food and covers the chick. No feeding.

Hatchling birds primarily rely on the egg yolk sac for their initial nutrient needs, usually for the first 12-24 hours after hatching.

I agree, no feeding yet is not a problem. I also think that at this moment, with rain and colder temperatures, keeping chick and eggs warm and dry is more important.
Parents know what they are doing. And it is always the best thing they can do in given situation.
