Bourkes update

Not a good start to the season for the bourkes.  The new young lutino hen has been acting 'chicken like'..9 eggs laid over nearly a month and no incubation, but plenty of mating.  I've decided to remove the nestbox for now and I've put some of the eggs under my older bourkes.  The older bourkes have already had a failed clutch and their second clutch of only 4 eggs look infertile.  She's now sat on seven, five of which are not her own.  Hopefully she'll go the distance plus a bit extra.
