Had 10 yesterday but one broke in the nest .. upper nest looks like somone ate it ? this would be not good

 

[Ascholten]

oof, egg eaters, yes that could be bad in a hurry, especially when one sees something, they ALL want to do it next. Hopefully it was just a random bust and not a coming trend.

I can cull a bird in 3 minutes if it is ..
More then to think one went in to lay then ran when they stepped on it

 

[Ascholten]

I recently had to do that, two of them ended up in the stew pot. Some here will cry, give me angry emoji's ... whatever, but at the end of the day, I am NOT going to put up with birds who are more trouble than their are worth. I have seen that too, especially with broody ones, they will be in there, and one other needs to lay an egg, the broody happens to be in the 'favorite corner' or whatever, a small kerfluffle and during the event, an egg gets stepped on and broken. I can understand an occasional break, and to be honest, would rather they ate them than totally just gone to waste,but that's a fine line between an oops and. hey... these ain't too bad, lets do a few more...

How long have you had her in there?

It was 2 days straight. I let her out this morning thinking there was no way she’d go back to the nest. I couldn’t sit and watch her but she did at some point go back today. I put her back in jail this afternoon.
