Metra has laid 2 eggs. (2 eggs is not "happy" thing with LSEs. As only 1 chick usually will survive if both eggs hatch, the weaker/younger one will be eaten... )

WOW!! Metra and Eha had chicks hatch very close together didn't they? You do know what normally happens when 2 chicks hatch in one of these nests I hope.

MaryF :hello: Yes, I´m very aware of the cainism. Last year Metra had 2 chicks and the smaller/younger one was killed/eaten.
And now they have two chicks again... I think the other one hatched yesterday.

Still two chicks. But the stronger/older one has been bonking the weaker one...

Here is an interesting article about cainism: http://www.raptor-research.de/pdfs/a_rp700p/a_rp705.pdf
And this is interesting as well: http://www.mil.brandenburg.de/cms/media ... slovak.pdf
