oh shucks your makin me blush.Roman is very knowledgable.Didn't he get out of raising birds?If he did I know he is missing it because he is always willing to help people and always ready for a conversation about birds.
My 2 swinhoes are setting,but I incubated their first 5 eggs and no fertility,hopefully the ones they are setting on are fertile.
I have grey and germains and would love to have palawans,but the wife says no birds in the house as they would be housed in the basement thru winter.The greya are climatized and the germainsI just got from Virgil in Jan,so hopefully thery will climatize as well.
As for chicks my temminck male came off with 3 chicks and 1 died,lewis silver came off with 6 ,grey peacock 2,eliot has 4 chicks 1 died.All these birds were hatched by the parents.The incubators have produced 4 eliots,2 temm,1 satyr,so not so good .Hopefully the hatches will get better as the season goes on.
I still have the temm ,satyr,lewis and 2 swinhoes setting.
I lost my humes hen,I don't know why she produced 15 eggs with fertility but died in the shell.I still have a bout 9 of those still incubating so there is still some luck.She has had fertile eggs the last 2 years so I don't know why the first ones weren't fertile.Happy hatching.
In N.H.,Tony.
