Dummy eggs can be used to replace thefreshlylaid eggs until the clutch is complete. Once the hen has finished laying return her real eggs to the nest for incubation. This way the eggs will all hatch at the same time and the chicks will all grow at the same rate.

Dummy eggs can also be put under a bird which constantly lays and hatches eggs to give her a \'break\' and recover any lost condition/weight.

These solid plastic eggs are approximately 1.75cm in length and suitable for

• finches
• canaries
• diamond doves
