"Suppose the population mean of a sample of the nest counts is 28 examples of 6" - 9" nestlings with a standard deviation of 3. Which of the following would be a reasonable inference to make about the sample?"

Your " the population mean of a sample of the nest counts is 28 examples" violates the definition of "population mean."  We don't find the "population mean of a sample;" instead, we find the "sample mean."  

A population has a population mean, usually denotes by the Greek letter "mu."

A sample has a "sample mean," which is derived from the population mean.
