Thanks Chaps fingers crossed all goes well and good luck to you all as well

Nice to see the young cobalts Robbie, keep it up.

Well done Robbie, best of luck.

I'm sorry to hear that Robbie. Its sods law that when something goes wrong and you take your eye off the ball something else will happen. I had two goldfinch cocks do that on me last season and I was gutted. good luck for the rest of the season. All the best. Oakey.

Thats a bitch Cock eating eggs, Could he be trying to thread hen & eggs got broke ???. At least its still early & you can try again.

Thanks Oakey and John just wouldnt know there was bits of egg shell and blood in the nest eggs and the two eggs i removed were full so will pair up again but seperate cock when i sett the eggs.

I would say he was trying to thread her so. Have you got another hen for him to keep him busy ??

sorry to hear about ur mishap Robbie,had a cock do the same last yr with the second round,saw him break one egg while i was feeding the birds in the morning ,put in the wire slide untill eggs hatched,he was fine with them after that,hope everthing goes well from now on

Yeah John he is part of trio the other hen is sitting tight on eggs so i will just seperate him at night take eggs away in morning,

Dermot there is always setbacks so will wait for the next one will know to keep him seperated next time, at least i saved 2 full eggs.

Nice amount to come back to well done Robby,
Bob

Thats a bitch Robby, My reds are feeding 1 yellow satinette + 2 of their own so far.

Chaps have a cracking Cock Bird had him in a trio with 2 hens both hens eggs look blank well 1st ones were other hen will be sitting 7 days tomorrow, what would are more experience breeders on here do with this cock, i have him seperated now in a double breeder on his own, would you try this cock bird again or leave him out of breeding altoghther i know its still early in the season, but all my other cocks have filled eggs no probelm.

Is it a satinete ?

No Richard non int red cock i have more i can use but really like this bird

Leave him for 2 weeks feeding him plenty of condition & softfood sprouted seed. When you see him dancing & singing his head off you know he is right then. On another note, maybe its the hens. Have you introduced the cock in time or are the hens accepting the cock ??

yeah have him seperated will feed him up and see but he is singing his head so dont know but i would say the hens were ready as well but i could be wrong.

some hens just dont squat for the ck bird end of ,try another hen .
