Black Skimmer nest - video - Nickerson Beach, NY

Black Skimmer nest with 4 chicks and two egg shells inside:

Adult Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) nest with 4 chicks - Nickerson Beach, Long Island, New York, East Coast, USA

I believe that these chicks varied in age from 2 days old, 1 day old to several hours old and just hatched chick. Was there unhatched egg still left? What do you think?
