4 birds hatched
For the past two weeks my brother and I have been watching a robin build its nest. Only a couple of days after the nest was completed there were three eggs in it and the next day there were four. A little more than a week later three of the eggs hatched. The egg that was laid last hatched last. Now the birds are about 5 days old and growing feathers.
