I have a nest box with camera in it and was very excited to see a chickadee building a nest. She layed her first egg on the 14 of April. Its hard to see because she covers them now but it looks like there are about 6 eggs. She has been staying the night in box since she started building the nest. Its been 9 days since first egg but she is not sitting on eggs during the day. She stops and stays for a few minutes and seems to roll them and make sure they are covered then leaves after 10 15 minutes. Yesterday the male brought her food twice early in the morning and I thought she must be starting to brood them but she left and only stopped back a few times during the day It has been in the upper 40s to 60 during the day and in 30s at night. Does anyone know if this is normal. She is still staying the night in box.
