Yey - 2 eggs in there now - when I looked in last night both Pickles and Shandy were in the box and then when they moved - I saw Pickles was sitting on 1 egg and Shandy on the other - is it usual for them to share incubation?

never seen a male brood, u sure the male was just visiting the nest or was he actually sitting on the eggs?

..... thats a bit odd......but they all seem to behave a bit differently..... Gillbert and Big have been spotted doing the do and now when ever she goes in the box for a while he pops in after to check out if she has laid or not ..... its still not at the mo.

i was going to ask what did you do with the egg you found on the floor? ...... i would have slipped it in the nest box just incase it might hatch.

another thought.......are you sure they arnt both girls..... they can get a bit confused sometimes Rolling Eyes
