dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 One of my OEG hens is now broody for the third time this year....im putting 18 fancy pheasant eggs under her on Sunday, so fingers crossed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rory4 267 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 how long do you need leave her after chicks have flown the nest so to speak, before let her sit on more eggs? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Thing is, the chicks have either been taken away from her(as day olds) or (as with her first this year) killed by pup. But even so, my best up to now, was two broods off a banty in the summer, so im hoping this hen will sit it out and hatch these off for me, she can then rear the chicks in safety this time in an ark, so no doubt it will be her last go this year. They are Reeves pheasant eggs. DnN Edited June 26, 2009 by dogs-n-natives Quote Link to post Share on other sites
