okay so Round 2 started with the first egg being laid on the 19/7/08 all 7 fertile

( this Hen knows how to lay )

First on hatched on the 7/8. Mum feed well

Second lhatched 8/8/08 Mum feed that one too

9/8/08 Both Babies dead in the Box - All eggs ICE COLD!

 

WHAT THE H ELL HAPPENED?????

I am going to assume that she was frightend off her eggs But there is a light that shines enough for her to find her way back ....

 

I will assume that there was a stray dog ( evidence was left LOL ) and she was scared!!

I will assume that there really wasn't anything for me to do - All was fine then one day Nope Not doing this anymore ...

 

Any ideas guys, as this is the first time it has happened to me

For sure she was frightened off her nest Neat Enough not to go back. You need to be detective to find out the exact cause so it wont happen again. Very sad when these things happen.

Sorry for your losses luv... is the nest box near the front of the avairy... therefor the hen wouldn't have wanted to go back to the next box because it was near where the dog was?

Nope at the back of the avairy !!!!

 

I think i know what happened - New hen went in !!!!!

But it is fine now, I am about to go out Now that Dylan is asleep and pull out all no breeders ( all but angle and her partner as there is 1 chick left to fledge ) and put them in the flights ....

 

I will wait until the other avairy is set up
