philg50 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 Sure its not 2 hens ,seen 2hens pair up then one also show interest in a cock ,result being 4 eggs in bowl ,funny critters whiles.
paddymac Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 I had this happen last season were two hens nested with the one cock and they all shared sitting the nest but I did remove 2 of the eggs and replaced the other 2 with a pair of eggs from the stock loft. As Walter has advised I would remove one of the eggs but not before I checked they were filling okay after 10 days
