Too Deep??; PH nest

PH - Could it be that K10 and K26 are repairing the nest because it was too deep to make adequate contact with the hatchlings to keep them warm? Just a thought.

I doubt the nest was too deep. They were able to keep the eggs at 99.5 degrees F so they could hatch, so they should have been able to keep the chicks warm too.

What are the best guesses for why the chicks did not make it.

The first one could have had an infected yolk sac and the second one got stuck under the gull wing that appeared to be in the nest bowl. Or they both died from something in the food. Or a multitude of other causes. After repeated failures they will likely move their nest, which could be good for them, but bad for us because it would likely no longer be online. "



Hope this helps.
