The parents take a lot of care and time to feed and rear their young, even though sometimes, they can seemingly be harsh, and I have just the once, seen a coot eat a youngster. Why, I can only presume, it was weak, or possibly ventured to the wrong nest, because there seemed to be a plentiful supply of food, because the rest were carefully tended to as you'd expect.
