If this is indeed a robin's nest, I am guessing the egg the little guy already hatched came from was similar to the larger, non-blue one. The reason I say this is that I suspect the others to be cow birds, who developed the habit of laying eggs in host nests. Once their egg hatches (first), the nestling will push all the other eggs and chicks out. I will be interested in hearing the updates on your brood! Rick AdamsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
