Dave, I have often wondered how such a small bird could cover and hatch seven
eggs, but 9 seems impossible. It would be interesting to know if this little
mother is able to cover and hatch 9. Never saw that many before either.

This nest holds a record of 9 eggs! At least it’s a record for me. I have seen
a chickadee nest with 7 but never 9. The guide says 5-8 so this gal is an over
achiever!
