It weighs 0.4 ounces or 11 g. Chickadees will busily store food for later when they find a ready supply, such as your backyard birdfeeder. They'll often fly off to stash it right away. Mountain Chickadees  incubate theire eggs almost a full week longer then their near cousin, the Black-Capped Chickadees do. Mountain Chickadees eat protein-rich insects and spiders during warm months, supplementing them with seeds and nuts and availble.
