mollyripkim Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Doris announced she had laid this afternoon, first time since being broody, a little egg, hers only ever weigh around 30gms. Anyway I had a look and it was still slightly wet and warm so as I was gardening I thought I'd leave it there until I finished. Half an hour later she was missing and there she was in the cube nest box, no egg shell, but yolk all over her beak! Next job - read up on breaking this habit - now wondering if she has done it before without me realising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollyripkim Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Not 100% sure she hasn't done it again as I am sometimes down on egg numbers some days but maybe the others are having a day off! I do keep an eye though and check for the eggs regularly just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
