Have just found all but 1 egg left in the nest, rest were on the ground and broken I feel so dam disappointed & as shattered as those eggs were. The first one was laid on the 1st April, maybe thats it----she was just tricking me I have not seen signs of any other hen going near her nest so really dont know why. When you say "candle", is that the obvious, you hold a candle to see through the egg?? Would a torch work the same?

Hi Bev have you been watching your birds to see if it is another female that has thrown out the eggs. Good luck and keep us posted . Thanks again for the site.
