Lewis Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I wouldn't have thought so, the eggs should be fine on their own, but could happen ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esta Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Oh thanks Its just Dot laid an egg today and then she was on it for a good 30mins to an 1hour then she came out and he sat on it, and while she was laying the egg he guarded the nestbox? Does that mean anything about her being broody?? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
