wee red hens Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 :'(in to loft this morn and found egg on the floor broken from upper nestbox the other egg was fine and the nest looked ok too not as if there had been a fight any thoughts please
Tony C Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Perhaps the hen dragged it of the nest, sometimes happens. I would slip a dummy egg in the nest alongside the good'un.
Williedoo Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Mybe the egg got cracked in some way and stuck to the hen,then fell off when then hen left the box.
sapper756 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Mybe the egg got cracked in some way and stuck to the hen,then fell off when then hen left the box. my thoughts also, check the underneath of the hen for traces of egg, if so, may want to consider removing other egg, as hen may be clumsy, or cock may be mounting her when sitting

Williedoo Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Keep an eye on her box as another cock might be going in there.
