Hi all
Well i finally gave in to my broody girls today, they have been sitting on a nest for 10 days, i have been putting them out to eat and drink 3 times a day, i was given 10 pheasant eggs today so have given the girls 5 each and a couple of chicken eggs which i am hoping are fertile, as the ones in the inncy are. so 21 to 25 days from today they should hopefully be mummys

You're so kind

I had the same - just gave in to a broody who has built a nest right in the middle of the entrance to one of the sheds and sitting on it empty. I've popped a dozen eggs under her and am waiting patiently....

one of my geese is sitting on an empty nest.....if i put some hen eggs under her will she sit till there hatched?

Tazbabe How long has she been sitting? i normally watch mine for a week or so if they are insistant on sitting i then put eggs in for them, i have a goose who is sitting but i have taken her eggs away, you can only but try her and see how she goes, i have found that geese tend to move away from there nests to eat drink and do the other where as chickens just seem to stay put

[tazbabe]

she's been sitting for about 10 days, only comes out in the morning for a wash, then straight back in there. i have been putting food beside her, which she is eating. i've had a sneaky peek when she's out, and the nest is deffo empty.

Is it ok to mix the eggs like that?
Just thinking - chucks take 21 days & pheasys 25 - or am I just being a bit

Nope your right chooks 21 pheasents 25, if the chooks hatch will take the pheasant eggs out and finish them in the inncy, had i thought about it i should have put the chook eggs in 4 days later but its no hassle.

[tazbabe]

well, i have given the goose 5 hen eggs, lets see what happens now!

[doganjo]

so long as the goose doesn't like swimming they should be OK   Piccies when they hatch please
