My New Breeding Season

Featured Replies

Posted

I am looking forward to the babies coming out of nests this breeding season. I am using a lot of the better youngsters I bred who are old enough. I have filled around 30 breeding cabinets and all the rest of the birds in the aviaries are jumping out of their skins for their chance to breed too.

I am trying to make the new corner units for my breeding room and another vertical bank as well which will add the last 12 breeding cabinets to the birdroom and leave it complete.

I will do a revolving topic here and add photos of the breeding pairs as I get them organised.

 

PAIR ONE

Dommie pied hen bred by Carl Alder and Green Cock bred by Rob Dunstan ( cocks father Gazzard bred bird..and this cock was selected for the nationals )

 

Hen was about to lay her eggs as you can see by her posture 019-21.jpg

Hen got out of the nest last night when the first chick hatched....chick dead this morning. All eggs cold. Moved three eggs to another nest in case they will make it.

Don't you just hate that. No chance of them surviving in this cold weather either. B) Hope they still hatch okay for you.

Well the eggs went into a greywing to greywing nest so once eggs hatch and babies feather up I will know if any made it or not.

I was told hens were only born with between 40-80 eggs - she may have run out... literary...

 

Looking forward to the chicks. you have VERY nice pairs :party0011:
