MoChara 1,600 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I wouldn't go any further than end July. Even at that though seasons turning by the time they're a month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chicken_man 1,651 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Usually I would stop now, purely for light and growing on. But I'm tempted to hatch one more batch :-) You know.what it's like, just one more :-) Thanks folks. Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chicken_man 1,651 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 :-) I will :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,600 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 You should, cm. I'm bloody raging I can't do a hatch until I see what's happening with these duck eggs I had a white rhea ordered from England being brought to NI with around 20 others but didn't work out cause they can't be by themselves and at 200 per one plus travel to get the shits it's not working out. Sooooo, will have to wait and hatch out some maybe next year, we will see 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chicken_man 1,651 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Now why am I not surprised that you might be getting Rhea :-). You have a wee zoo there. Bet folk enjoy visiting your place :-) I might hatch a batch, but probably would have to give light.and vits later on to get decent results. Late hatching can result in them being a bit stunted, I don't want that, would be a waste. So I have actually talked myself out of it :-) sensible outcome really. Good luck :-) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I've stuck a load of eggs in just because I'd like some birds for next year. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
