What effect does netting have on the newly hatched young or half incubated eggs of the trapped and, ipso facto, delayed parent?

At New Chum Road mist netting which happened to coincide with the Blitz, we netted a pilotbird with a brood patch. There was some speculation about whether or not there were records of pilotbirds breeding in the ACT?
FYI, brood patches were also found on:
Shining Bronze-cuckoo
White-browed Scrubwren
Brown Thornbill
Striated Thornnbill
Eastern Spinebill
Yellow-faced Honeyeater
Crescent Honeyeater
White-napped Honeyeater
Golden Whistler
Eastern Yellow Robin
Bassian Thrush
