I get a note that the "content is unavailable" - my guess is that you've posted it to facebok but in a non-public fashion? Perhaps try uploading to Youtube instead as that is publicly available by default (and we'll need to be able to see your videos to verify things).  Also, please keep your consecutive spawn dates updated - there's no way the 1/18 hatch was spawned in December of the prior year
