Hi My name is Sean,

I am having trouble with one of my hens. My other hen when she lays eggs rarley never goes out of the nest box, she is always incubating. But hte other one sits on them every now and again. She sits on them at night but most of the time through the day she just sits on the breeding box pearch and after a while just decides to kick the eggs out. What is going on. :greenb:

Hmmmmm ... How old is she and are you colony breeding??

Hi Sean,

 

providing more information would help. How old is the hen? Has she been used for breeding before and how succesful was it? Are you breeding in separate breeding cabinets for each pair or all together in an aviary (colony breeding)? How old is the cock bird and has he been used for breeding before? Also was there any particular hot spells during this time?
