mudman 14 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I have a pair of grey partridge in an aviary. The hen laid about 18 eggs which I removed each day in the hope of getting a broody bantam. Never got the bantam so as an after thought put the clutch back down on the floor of the aviary, even though I was told they were no good as I had not turned them regularly. About a week later the hen started sitting and is still sitting four weeks later. The eggs contain well formed dead chicks. Now the partridge is still very broody, needs encouraging to leave the nest then flutters about until I leave. I was thinking of getting a dozen day old chicks from a game farm and replacing them for the eggs. Do you think it would work? Quote Link to post
