young hen laid

[nmd]

one of my young hens has laid 2 eggs. my first y/b race is on the 14th july.

obviously i will not let them hatch, but should i just get rid of the eggs or would it motivate her more, and the cock to keep them.

id keep them and youve got them sitting 10/11 days...pete

If she has laid out the road just leave her to sit on them and train her & him as normal and good luck in your 1st race 8) 8)

have had this happen to my ybs , personaly id swap for plastics as hen will only re lay

[nmd]

thanks for the help, think ill swap them for plastic eggs.

swap them for plastics or china eggs ,you can fool a yb to sit a long time ,,,even putting a yb under it for a race then back on eggs on return,,,,, also, sometimes worth [after sitting tight] putting another 3 eggs under it , itll keep trying to tuck them under it ,  from both sides , can work with the cock to , but again, birds must be fit first of all

i have put plastic eggs under it mate. so she will not reject the yb if it is under her? will she feed it?
