Posted June 14, 200817 yr okay guys i am stumped on this one .... So i need so help please Angel2 's eggs were infertile as were the lacewings eggs that I fostered to Angel2 aswell so after them not being fertile I had tossed them ...... ( 18 days Sooo not going to be fertile) But 3 days after i had tossed them she laid another egg? I have no problems with this at all as she is a first time at 17moths Old But it seems too quick to have realyed an egg? She sat in the nest box with out any eggs in there and I felt so sorry for her the poor little thing So do you think that she has just laid for the sake of laying??? or do you think that her and my Violet pied is back to the swing of things??? Thank for your thoughts guys
June 14, 200817 yr It might be a bit quick Neat, but I think hens know when their eggs aren’t good, as some will put the bad ones away from them & wont even sit on them. So maybe she was just about to leave them when you tossed them away.
June 19, 200817 yr Author Well, BUSTED !!! They were mating, and there are 3 eggs in the nest, this time she isn't keen on leaving the nestbox where as last round she hardly sat on them so ( that could explain them being infertile .... ) Will keep you all posted
