What does a PREDATED vs HATCHED nest look like?

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]On this egg from the successful nest, you can tell the poult unzipped itself on the large end of the egg and you can see how well that's cut out. This is a successful nest attempt. So, the poult hatched successfully out of that egg.

[00:00:15]This is an example from one that failed because of predation. So, you can see there's still egg yolk available. The egg is crushed.

[00:00:24]We'll see different kinds of damages based on the type of predator. But, if you see an egg like this, that means that nest was successful. If you see one more like this, means it was no good.

[00:00:35]Got predated.
