Well when it happened before I had no reason to think they had killed the chicks-only two eggs and one was cracked-which could've been an accident, the other one just disappeared so had no idea what happened to it. Plus it was early, something like day 17 or a little earlier. What seems to happen is one pips or gets cracked and then the other eggs just disappear! Even though as far as I could tell, none of the other eggs had pipped yet. Though they might've done during the night.
I was in two minds about trying again, but since they were both still broody and waiting for their babies I decided to give it another shot. Bad idea I guess!
My problem is I have no idea which one is the killer or if it's both, so wouldn't really be fair to put both of them in a pot! I wont know which one did it unless it happened again, and it could be possible that the only reason one/both did it was because they were both sitting on eggs together.
I think if I tried it again I'd get a duck! Already have ducks but again not the broody type, so I think I'll try ducks next time though I'm sure the same thing is probably possible with ducks too, or any bird/animal.
