    Silver spngled hamburg fertile eggs NEW ZEALAND

    Hi there, I am trying to get hold of silver spangled hamburg fertile eggs as the weather starts to warm up and am wondering if anybody knows of anyone in NZ? Never come across any in NZ, and never any on trademe, agtrader etc. Any help much appreciated

    How to know if incubated egg is dead?

    She'll know when she is done sitting. Give it a day or two more and she'll bring her chick off the nest more. When she does if the eggs aren't hatched have a look and a listen, and if no go don't put them back. Mama chooks aren't like bators, they know when its time to move on... hope that helps!??

    Thank you all so much for your help. Heres how things are going at this stage: 2 days ago: Madly dash round carport adjusting height of bucket dangling over gas barbeque(!!). Frantically poke thermometers into sand, digithermometer in glad bags of water. Poke finger into sand as don't believe...

    Re "What can I do"... conclusion!

    Thank you all. Will have a go with the sand thing! We are in a very old, very rural area, all our power poles are very old wooden ones and as we are in wine country, and the area is developing quickly they are replacing all the poles with the heavy duty cement ones! I am very impressed with the...

    Thank you so much! Does the bucket need a lid? You've just saved me from a very sleepless night and my husband from a prod in the ribs and a "what if...?" question every 20 minutes through it!!

    Have been getting my fertiles from Trademe with varying degrees of success. Where do you other kiwis source them?
