Part of a gamekeepers job is to stuff as many fertilized eggs as the hen will sit under her. That's how grey partridge were propagated during the time of the big shoots.

When we raised stocking pheasants, we always strived to trap a wild hen to set eggs, and rear the poults.
Now I just do quail for the dogs, and our holiday table.
