Yeah, there's so mach difference between sites, even when describing various breeds. :rolleyes:
I'm sure mine hid a lot of theirs, but I also let them brood them so that cut down on how many were laid.
Mine haven't started laying yet. I also find that for a few weeks anyhow, if not a bit longer, the eggs aren't fertile. Since you're a bit south of me, I should think they would start soon for you.
I've never tried to 'fool' mine. Just let them do what comes naturally! :)
