    February/March 2017 Hatch-a-long

    I had promised to myself that the batch I have for the 11th was going to be my last one but after candling two nights ago my isbar mailed eggs quit on me and only one is developing along with my meat bird eggs, so I guess I'm gonna toss in another 16+ eggs in two days if they dont sell at the bay.

    I know, that's why I'm askimg, I googled urogallo and nothing looks like this, from there I googled grouse and nothing either. They look like some kind of game fowl pheasant like but then again I've never experienced with pheasants either.
