Numerous independent and widely spread reports exist of poultry, including Game Bird poultry, experiencing inedible eggs laid by hens which have seasonal or perennial access to/under mature Camphor laurel trees; when berries are eaten fresh the hens turn sterile during that season, and infertile, inedible camphor-smelling eggs are laid, if at all! It is not yet known if male poultry can be seasonally sterilised.
Hunter (1998) at Corndale was the first person to prove, with geese, that egg sterility is reversible, by keeping his free range flock of birds away from under the shady camphors which had apparently sterilised them in preceding years.
