Water Boy Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have had 3 of my 9 stock pairs have 2 rounds of clear eggs in a row. They are young pairs, the oldest is 2009. They filled every egg last season? Why do you think this could be? Could there be a dominate Cock who keeps knocking the cock off his hen maybe???

Guest geordiejen Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 got a fewpair myself this year with first round of eggs being empty.hopefully next round will be better.dominant cock wont let others sit the eggs.infact on most cases if a dominant cock is in the section the hens wont lay in the nestpan.the other thing that causes birds to come off eggs is red mite.

THE FIFER Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 you get that m8 at this time of year being too cold, possibly eggs getting chilled or birds if not getting out, not treading as they should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
