This needs to be a *sticky* topic.

Im pretty tired after all of that which turned out to be a mini thesis of 4000 words long - bed time reading for you all ep

I've shared with you many of my techniques and tips for sucessful incubation.  Please let me know what you think of it as a work that I may submit for publishing.

If its helped you then I'll be more than pleased and feel its been worthwhile.  If you feel my work and guidance has helped you then I'd be more than happy to be nominated for an BYC Educator award if you think thats not too cheeky wink

Your pal Pete wink


Pete, I would by all means submit this work to as many venues as possible. You guys over there have two or more clubs catering to domestic waterfowl in general plus the Runner and Call duck clubs. Exotic waterfowl and pheasants operate the same way so why not them as well? There are the Game Bird and Waterfowl message boards, based here in the states but full of input from all over. We also have our own Call duck clubs and the IWBA. Jim Konecny the Toulouse guy can help you there. My own opinion is that this is a very worthwhile piece of work. I can find no mention of a BYC Educator Award but would be awfully happy to nominate you if you or someone else can tell me how. And YES!!! we are having a good season but we learned at what seems to be the same school of hard knocks and high humidity.  cool

Hi
This information is wonderful thank you.
Maybe you can help me, I am getting lots of eggs, I put them in the incubator but they are all infertile ( or just don't develop)
My gander is only 11 months old.  Can this affect his ability to fertilize the egg??????
Thanks
Bev

Hi Bev08

If you're certain you have a pair then the infertility is probably due to the gander's young age and you'll see much improved results next year.  Have you seen any courtship or mating between them?
