nesting box
Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2014 11:28 pm
Hi I am new to this forum. I have a query . I purchased a breeding pair of ringnecks last year and was also given their chosen breeding box.
I am concerned that it is too small. My hen has just begun sitting on 5 eggs in this box even though she had 3 to choose from, the other 2 being larger.
Her tail is now bent at the end as is her mates.
Will I have to pull the chicks earlier for fear of overcrowding ? And should I remove this breeding box altogether after I do and replace it with another in the same spot?
I'm stressing already, cant sleep
Hope someone can give me some advice.
