gouldians eggs

Post by sharath1 » Mon Aug 29, 2016 4:02 am

Hello friend one of my gouldian pair which r raising two chicks had laid eggs again but the chicks used to scatter them in the nest box and the female also was not sitting tight, so i placed them under my society finches, now the eggs are fertile i am thinking of shifting the eggs back to the gouldians. would the gouldian except the eggs again? or should i leave it with the societys. i am thinking of placing dummy eggs one at day and see if the gouldian starts sitting on them, does this method work for gouldians

I dont think it will work for the gouldians. :( You could try some dummy eggs and see if your hen sits tight just in case. It cant hurt.
