Well my female p'let must be sterile

[Sondra]

They breed and breed   have had nest box since May andd still not one egg.
They get a varied diet  including home made recipes and egg yolks  have a cuttle bone they don't touch have a mineral block that male chews on from time to time.   Don't know what else I can do.     Oh and I am sure she is a female :)
Any suggestions to you experienced breeders?    I would think that birds just like chickens would lay eggs even if there was no male.

Get some hemp seed and add that to your seed mixture. I ONLY add the hemp when I want babies, because once they are on it, wham, they started sitting.

[Sondra]

but isn't  sitting and laying two different things?

[Sondra]

wonder if hemp oil on their food would help  just a tad,  I have it.

[GoatTalker]

Hemp seeds seem to trigger egg production and sitting. I keep the nest box away from the cage unless I want them to make babies, and then add the hemp seeds (I wouldn't use oil) to their diet and walla, it has worked within a week every time.

Hope it works for you, Sondra.

Well I drove into town and found som egg stuff with hemp seed in it and some song bird feed that has hemp seed in it so gave them a teas spoon of each.  When I can get over to Whole foods will get some staight hemp.  Been reading that just takes a few seeds abt 3 times a week.  So we'll see.

[GoatTalker]

I feed it daily, just a teaspoon top dressed on their seed.

[Sondra]

OH ok I will this then as tis only a few hemp in with lots of others.
