Eurasian Coot family with 4 chicks. Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra) chick mortality is very high. From a typical clutch of 6 to 10 eggs, only a few chicks will make it to adulthood. Although Coot chicks are taken by predators, such as gulls and herons, starvation is the main cause of chick mortality. Most deaths occur in the first 10 days after hatching, so the Eurasian Coot chicks in this video have a good chance of survival.
