    Well done on the babies I'm having no luck with photobucket too, and don't know what i am doing wrong. I sent a photo to Rainbow and it worked so I tried to post one before but it told me it was to big but i don't know why. Anyway good luck with the birds the hen probably through the baby out, and keep trying with the pictures. Mum baby and Dad

    Have you herd anything from the train people Bev and has he stoped blowing his horn?? When you say the egg has disappeared do you theink she might have eaten it ? Did she look like she had egg on her face? Good luck and keep us posted.

    If you think she is a good and relaxed mum she should cope. I nearlly had the same thing but my hen didn't kill any of her young she just plucked the down first then the feathers so I removed the young and fostered them out as well and there all fine, but I am not sure if I am going to breed her again. I agree with Hath about making sure that you have a hen ready to be a foster mum. good luck
  5. Thanks Hath have you breed them before, and if so what would I be looking at getting. If you know. Would they just be pieds Recessive and dominants. Thanks for your addvice.
  6. Has anyone breed Recessive and dominant pieds togethter before? Or is this a no no? I have both types and just want to know if I should my gold recessive cock has paired up with a young (to young yet) dominant pied hen I am thinking of breeding them when she turns 1. Would love to post a picture or 2 or 3 or more but still no luck with photobucket don't know what I am doing wrong. Also another Q How far down the line can you interbreed is it the same as humans? Just wondering!

    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? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.
