Bare with me, I don’t know anything about birds.
What it looked like, chickadees (cute tiny black white birds) nested in my 3 ft ground planter with a small furn in it. Laid 5 white eggs with brown speckles on them. Ive kept my distance the entire time. Had a feeling the nest being so low to the ground a raccoon would get to it. The eggs managed to stay their 2 weeks and must of just hatched 3 days ago.
I had not been near or seen the nest since. Today my husband noticed nothing in the nest or around, he said they must of been eaten. 3 hours later I go to the backyard to find all 5 chicks dead on the cement, when my husband saw nothing! No egg shells anywhere! They look like they must be 3 days old, no feathers and see through skin. I have a photo but not sure if it’s appropriate to post or not.
Why did this happen!?
Thank you.
