An egg stuck to Jake????

[alexandra]

Jake has just emerged from the nest box, wearing an egg!!!

it was stuck to his chest, he must have been pressing on it as he was sitting on the nest or something.

it had a bigish hole in it where the egg white had leaked out and stuck him to the shell. the yolk was still in there, dont think it had been fertilized

i was sat at the other end of the room and thought, "what an earth is that on Jake?" i had to laugh when i saw it was an egg!

shall i take the other 2 eggs out now?

lol alex, he has already started to bond really well.

[alexandra]

hehehe he's in a bit of a grumpy mood tonight!! i think its because i laughed at him wearing an egg!!!

[judy]

oh mum, thats just mean #tongue# #tongue#

[Admin]

he's trying out a new line of fashion to see if it takes off

lol that was quite whitty for me

[alexandra]

i just couldnt help laughing!

[judy]

did you take a pic?

[alexandra]

no fraid not i wish i had now!

[Berserka]

He's not so embarrassed anymore, having kids has brought him out of his shell.

[telmadee]

aww bless him, bet it was funny, Im cruel so i woudl have laughed too lol

[alexandra]

thats a good one!! the other 2 eggs were infertile too

[chickabee]

thats a shame about the other eggs but it does happen.

I'm sure if you let them have another nest, you'll be lucky with more next time. At least there getting good practice with feeding there chick and they will know all about it ready for next time

[alexandra]

yep i'm sure it would be more successful. Jessie is already coaxing Jake to mate!! but so far he has refused

they have done 2 clutches now, so i think Jess needs a rest now. she's only little!!!

[chickabee]

Jessie is a little go getter LOL

yep I think a rest is needed...two nests are good

[alexandra]

maybe in a few months time i'll be posting about "round 3"
