Non Producing Birds

geordie1234 · April 8, 2011

Since i have moved up to my new address and got the pairs settled and on eggs etc, I have managed to get 8 pair down on eggs and reering youngsters but i have one pair who have laid 2 sets of eggs which were clear and another pair who have failed to even lay! what would you do in this situation would you get rid? I was thinking what i could do to help but im allready providing fresh food fresh water grits minerals etc

Thanks in advance

About 2 weeks mate they seem very settled sitting in there next boxes just no eggs

I think you've done really well in getting so many pairs down. :emoticon-0137-clapping:

However, due to the short amount of time passed since moving them, personally I would give them some more time before I would start to question things.

Again, if it was me, I would be really pleased so far, and be content if I could even get a pair of latebreds off the others. JMO.

SLIP A COUPLE OF DUMMY EGGS UNDER THE NON laying pair george and see if they sit on them and after 9 days take eggs away from them it might bring them on to lay: :rolleyes:
