Hi All , I'm new to the egg laying process and would really appreciate some help, please. I have a 2+ year old Spaulding pea hen . I also have a 2+ year old BS male. This week the hen laid her first 2 eggs. The first egg we left but found broken the next morning and I'm guessing one of them attempted to eat it. The 2nd egg we removed. I really DONT want to attempt raising any peachicks. Two is enough for us , for now at least. I'm just not ready nor equipped to raise chicks right now. Do we continue to remove the eggs? What if they eventual mate and eggs are fertile. Do I have to check each egg, and if so what is the easiest way? I understand the more we remove , the more she will lay. Will this stress her out by laying more eggs we continue to remove? What if she attempts to want to lay on her egg (s) ? I heard to put fake eggs near her for a while , and then remove and she will stop laying ? As you can see, I am stressed, probably more than she is !!! Bottom line I really cant manage any chicks right now but dont want to do something that will cause her harm or may be inhumane.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide here !!
