Look What I found!

[Yoda]

I put an old brown plastic igloo dog house in the peapen and the birds wouldn't go near it. I added fake vines I bought from the dollar store and look what I found inside:

The House decorated:

There are now 4 eggs inside:

Should I leave them in there or remove them?

if they r not sitting on them i would say remove them and put them in a incubator or u can wait a few days and see if they sit but if its way to hot wouldnt dont what to distory good eggs

Yoda, Love the nest. Have you incubated other eggs from you hen?

We have decided to not take the eggs from ours anymore this season and let them sit. I am excited because our baby bronze is the one that has claimed the nest over 4 other older birds

Great nest box desing the vines are really neat.

I would remove them also in this heat, here around 100 ,thats to hot for eggs. put a fake egg in there ,so she will keep laying eggs there.

Wow, that is awesome! Good thinking! Makes me want to go dig around in a craft store or plant some vines around their nestboxes!

x2 on Deerman's putting in fake eggs- craft stores sometimes sell ceramic ones that are amazingly lifelike... we put some under a chicken once and the only way we could find them again was to see which ones spun right!

Good idea! I like the way you did that with the vines.

 

[chicmom]

Very cool! They made a beautiful nest in there too.......

Wow. I'm really happy for you, peafowl chicks are cute (though all bird chicks are adorable X3).
