Chances are the eggs have hatched. You should be hearing little chirping sounds any time. If you can get a look into the nest check on them to make sure what's up. If the Cock & Hen are eating and going back & forth to the nest, they are probably feeding the babies. If they are ignoring the nest altogether, look & make sure what's going on in there. If the eggs hatched, & they haven't been feeding the babies, you want to get them out of the nest, they are probably dead. Sorry. The eggs may not of hatched at all,in that case, get them out also, because at this rate, they won't. Also, sometimes, birds make nests over eggs already in the nest for a second clutch. If there aren't any babies, you have to take out dead or unhatched eggs, they may go for a second round. Try adding a nestling or breeding formula to their diet it may help them produce healthy eggs & chicks, & contribute to their overall health. Good luck!
