I have a herd of Redfoot. 2 males and 5 females. One of those males is immature.
The females are always dropping eggs. I currently have 2 incubators full of eggs and another God only knows how many more out in the pen. I'm thinking a total of 70-80 eggs.
I want the breeding to stop and have posted my largest male for sale. He is a beautiful specimen.
Question is once a female lays eggs. Will she continue to do so..like a chicken, forever?
I understand that I can expect fertilized eggs for many months without a male, but will the egg laying then stop? At least 3 and maybe 4 of my 5 females are out there right now digging and dropping.
Is there an OFF button?
