well here I go again. To recap I bought a pr of Chiloe Widgeons for Christmas 2008 they bred in spring 2009. The Drake died 1 week before hatch was due. Nothing hatched, all eggs were clear. So for Christmas 2009 I bought another Drake from the same person since he was enroute on my hubbies trip to visit his mother in Fl and wouldn't require shipping. They bred spring 2010, 2 clutches with nothing hatching, again all eggs clear, and also again this year but did hatch out a couple of Mandarin eggs and she was so happy. Christmas 2010 I bought a new Hen out of Tn. She just finished with her first clutch with nothing hatching, all eggs clear. So now what buy a new Drake again from somewhere else??? I hate buying just a single bird and pay all that shipping. Do Chiloe breed first year?? Is that the problem?? Thinking it is more the Drake
Shawn do you have a Chiloe Drake I could borrow next year????
You should have seen the family gathering yesterday when I released them out of the isolation pen when she quit the nest to rejoin the original hen. Drake kind of miffed at the 2 Mandy babies until Momma set him straight. Love to watch them loving all over each other heads bobbing up and down
