Bangersanmash 2,372 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just candled my eggs and some good news an bad news. Good news my greeny hen to my timbrado cocks eggs are campion 4 out of 5 eggs are looking good. But bad news is my bully eggs are all empty. Think with her being a 2019 hen she's just got too broody too early and the cocks not tread her yet. But never mind fingers crossed Al have some nice mules. I've got the greeny cock her to help with the bringing up of the young in triple cage at the side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And yes she'll have another clutch of eggs. Your right about natives normally may June time. Seen them pairing up the wild natives near me now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So was shocked that she was on good eggs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 5,945 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I've given her them back to sit today, if my feeder canary hurries up and lays they will be getting put under her instead if they are full. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
