Thanks for all your info. I wonder if you could also help me with a problem I had with our first batch of eggs. Our female layed six eggs in total, but all 2-3 days apart, so consequently they hatched so far apart. We had some rather large babies by the time the last 3 were hatched & consequently lost them. I did feed the last one for over a week when I realised what was happening, but it still didn't survive. I fed it with the bird raising formula. Is it possible to take the eggs from the nest as they are being layed & putting them all back in at the same time so they hatch together? I'd like for them all to survive, the ones we have are the prettiest Iv'e seen.
Thanks.
