Hi guys I have a pair of green indian ringnecks they had laid 4 eggs last month and I normally check the nest every time I feed this mornin when I checked there was two eggs that seemed to be hatched but there was no sign of the young is it possibly that the parents have killed an ate it. Last season the male had killed all four chicks. I will really appreciate any advise or help

Yes this is very possible if he has done it before. You can remove him next time before the eggs hatch and the hen is able raise them on her own.
