Bangersanmash 3,061 Posted May 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Set the eggs yesterday at 4 been in this morning taken a quick shot of nest without touching the eggs to see what's there an 5 this morning. There maybe 6 in morning but I'm hoping for just 5 with her being a first time parent an last years bird. Was in two minds to move the eggs on to a feeder. But thought a will separate the cock bird with a mesh divider leave her happily sat tight on the eggs. And Introduce him to another hen which is a over year bird a whitetop split isabel & satenette. It looks like they've taken to each other which a didn't think would happen. So now fingers crossed she'll bed down on a round of eggs. Then a can mesh her side off with a divider an run the cock bird in the middle. I've seen him feeding the one of the eggs the eumo through the mesh which I'm really pleased with. So come when the chick are about 4 or 5 day a will run him with her an same with the other hen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
