Just checked our Western Bluebird nest box and found 6 eggs. We are feeding
the parents dried mealworms called Happy Hen Treats, purchased at Wilco when
they were on sale. We store them
in the freezer, and feed the birds morning and night. When the adults are
feeding chicks, we offer the mealworms in a shallow pan of water, so as to
supply water to the chicks at the same time
as they are fed.
Last year our pair raised 3 broods, fledging a total of 8 chicks. This year
we are off to a big start with 6 eggs!
We do practice house sparrow control.
