Sometimes several hens will nest in close proximity, and when they do so, a considerable number of eggs may be collected in this manner. Those eggs which are first laid in the nest will, if removed, be replaced by a second lot, and many keepers allow the second batch of eggs to be hatched by the hen Pheasant. This is not at all a bad practice, as it combines what may be termed natural with artificial game-raising, the advantages of which in certain localities are at once obvious ; whereas where... vermin are troublesome, or the eggs are likely to be detected by labourers and others, it is disadvantageous. I n searching for Pheasants' eggs it is necessary to be very cautious not to disturb the hen but allow her to vacate her nest at her own free will. Nests can often be located by watching for the birds feeding in the morning and evening, and their subsequent movements. A practice adopted by many keepers is to find the nests with a pointer or setter. No matter how carefully nests may be searched for there is bound to be a certain number that remain undiscovered, and it is just as well that it should be so, as this materially helps 124 ^ '^ QO ^ Q H hJ M t/5 Oh w SSg «i J w ?
