Guys
Had six eggs hatch within 24 hours. Took me three years to finally get this right. The other round was laid within two days as well. Now if they get the third round down on time I can have a 20 chicks within 30 days of the same age. This was the hardest part of breeding for me.

Good one Kenny.I had 17 in 30 days first round,last 2 went in the kitbox yesterday.Now it's a matter of getting some decent weather(nothin but rain,fog and low cloud or wind since November)and the preds heading for the hills.
How many pair are you breeding from and how many fosters are you using?

Kel,
Breeding from three pairs, running 6 fosters. I have a new pair I am running solo to check them out.They throw just enough chicks into the mix to give me the 20 a round. Two of my hens laid no.1 last night and the other hen is awful broody. Looks like the streak will continue for now.
