Eggs Laid Need Some Info

[Guest Geo]

never bread birds before so be gentle ..

2. also should i let the doo join her ? asap or just let the hen do the rest

We have breed them on the floor and in nest bowls and really there has been no difference in them apart from when the young one get a couple of weeks old then thay start running around the floor but if you lift the eggs there is a chance the hen may reject them I would just let them be

yOU NEED BOTH BIRDS TOGETHER

[gulkie]

leave them where they are the cock has to be there or the hen will leave

the nest after a couple of days you will find they take turns at sitting

18 days till hatching ring young at 5-7 days old put feed pot at nest so

the young can see the parents eating when they are about 15 days old.

25 days till weaning move yb to yb section dip their heads in the drinker

to let them know where the drinker is watch them for a couple of days if

their eyes are closing they are not drinking dip their heads in again they

will do the rest. good luck geo.

Why did you split them?

If it was to prepare for widowhood, then keep them split and lift the eggs, you don't need them.

[Guest Geo]

well i ended up incubating them my self one did not pass 48 hours but one is still good and on course day 9, fingers crossed? , i have bird formula and different sizes of baiting syringes for fishing i can use to feed

 

the last turn will be 1 am on 22nd and expected date is around 23-4th maybe 25th

 

 

i wont be counting my chickens as this could end in tears

[Guest Geo]
