Potch Koekoeks are endemic to South Africa - looks a lot like a Plymouth Rock from which they were bred. We have numbered cartons instead of numbered eggs :)The Shroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305770258577207717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258484059999383214.post-14755467492695848542013-07-01T21:11:36.506+10:002013-07-01T21:11:36.506+10:00I too will adopt your egg marking technique.

I got one when they were being broody. The membrane and the yolk and white were there, but no shell. <br /><br />I write on my eggs too, like this: 1/7. Apart from now, when they are on strike, I usually have two cartons on the go in the fridge and move the eggs along as older ones are being used up. <br /><br />I'm not sure when mine will start laying again - one is broody and the other is re-growing her plumage so I think it will be a while. Patience, patience!! You can't hurry nature. :)Ninanoreply@blogger.com
