The parents are a good pair
1st year 2 clutches, 2+4 = 6 chicks
2nd year 2 clutches 4+3 = 7 chicks
3rd year 3 clutches 5+3+1 = 9 chicks, last clutch only 1 chick and it died
4th year 2 clutches 3+0 =3 chicks, 2nd clutch 4 chicks dead in shell half way through incubation
this year 1 clutch so far 3 chicks doing well
So far 25 chicks in five years.
