Robin’s Nest

Global Regina has set up a webcam in the News Directors back yard to document a Robin laying her eggs to hatch a few chicks.

The Robin laid all four of its eggs and it took around 10 days for the eggs to hatch with the Robin constantly near them to make sure the eggs stayed warm.

For some of the baby Robins it took them nearly a full day to break out of the egg shell because of the strength of the egg shell.

Now that the chicks have hatched, comes the hardest part for the Robins because the chicks require so much food and attention.

At this point a male Robin usually joins the Mother to help her with feeding and protecting the chicks until they are ready to be on their own which could take up to 16 days or until the baby robins are ready to fly away.
