I have recently lost a very good job and had to move and am struggling financially. I have two beautiful birds I am looking to re-home. A Jenday Conure and a Green-cheek Conure. They are both loving birds and easily handled.
The Jenday was hatched January 7, 2006 and purchased from a Petland...
Well I'll be updating this thread like a live journal for the next 28-ish days with the conditions of the incubator for any that might be following this endeavor.
Would still appreciate any input on the questions posted earlier...
Pete I just love how informative your threads on incubation are. I am incubating some shipped turkey eggs for a friend and candled the eggs before placing them in the incubator. Out of twelve eggs, two have detached air cells.
