Hi

Just after some advice. I have a hexagonal aviary with 4 males and 4 females. Lately I have noticed single eggs dropped on the bottom of the aviary - cracked with a yolk. The birds have paired off with 3X pairs having lots of sex and exchanging 'saliva'. I thought of putting in nest boxes, but after researching the perils of colony breeding have decided not to. My other option from my understanding is to remove the pairs into separate cages with nest boxes. Problem is we are in the middle of renovations, I don't think I can devote enough time at this stage to monitoring breeding. Is it okay to just leave the birds do their own thing, will it affect any future breeding I may want to do? Hope someone can help, thanks.

if you keep up the calcium and veggies and just monitor the hens so as you dont get one egg bound

then i think its fine i have two laying in my flight at moment although i dont like it it will happen as the hens in question should not be going a third round

so the floor it is
