Yeah,You are so on the mark with needing to build up your own Stock!
Try not being discouraged. At least some are hatching and you will get over this slow spot eventually and all will be smoother again.
It's just harder this year because I have 3 different matings which need to be kept separate.
Since I only have 2 Brinsea Mini Advances, it means staggered hatching. I went to the PA
thread and asked for a custom incubation service. Fortunately, without my asking, a lady in my area
loaned me another BMA. That was so sweet of her! I am so grateful. So as soon as the sporadic hen
lays several more eggs, I can finally start the last Brinsea. A different lady is coming to pick up her 6 birds in July
and I want to get them on the ground so I have time to cull them at least once before she comes.
I have still another lady coming for 2 pullets, Then I will keep hatching the other 4 matings until I run out of season.
Tux ex May ; Knight and Day over the three females( Sweetie , May , pullet 10). I think I need a
wholesale source for colored leg bands, smile. No one cares about the pullet 10 breeding but me.
It's a test breeding, so am saving it for later.
Best,
Karen
