Posted July 31, 200519 yr I have this hen (Babe) She keeps going in to Olives nest box and breaking the eggs, so Olive finds another nest box and a few days later she lays another eggs. Babe then kicks her out of that one and breaks the egg. This keeps on happening. Why is she doing that?
July 31, 200519 yr How many birds do you have? Sounds like you have plenty of boxes about. So maybe Babe doesn't have a mate herself and wants one or maybe even Olives?? Is there a reason you want to colonise breed? The safest way to breed budgies is in breeding cages. One pair with a box alone, that way you know who the father is and no other hen can bother the mother either by breaking the eggs or even fighting over the nest kill chicks or each other.
