Six eggs this morning! How many more is she going to lay?

8-12 is fairly normal, with half surviving to fledge
I call 7
Well, she’s not been off the nest today so far so she may have started the incubation. Maybe she's sticking at six?

She's surely GOT to be incubating now - Mr Tit is bringing her snacks. 
You’re right. So far…….
They’re surely going to be a bit cramped in there when they all hatch and start growing?

Is this your first brood?
You need to wipe the calendar clear for the next few weeks till they fledge.
Put a few more feeders up in different locations with a variety of tit suitable food, there's a short period where what seems like 1kg of food an hour is entering that box.

Still being fed by her partner. Probably about another week before they hatch.
They are starting to hatch! She’s been doing a lot of spinning around since yesterday, tucking her head right underneath herself and shuffling the eggs around. This morning I got a quick glimpse of a chick as she was spinning around. In honour of the jubilee celebrations, I’m going to name the mum 'Lilibet'.
