One of my 3 year old Shetlands has decided to set 3 eggs, so I am letting her...last year I took eggs from the girls and incubated them getting 8 to hatch. Only 2 girls...same thing with my Penciled Runners, seemed to be a boy year. I have 3 females that this is their 3rd year and decided to see if the one girl who wants to ; to let her set. See if she can hatch them... It's been a week or so, we'll see. ;0)
