How do you get the bread crumbs to stick to the feathers?

Really you just put them in and see. Once the female starts calling threateningly on your approach then she is in breeding condition.

 

I started be putting them in all together and what on CCTV which paired up then split them off accordingly. Keep the bread off them.

 

I have four breeding pair that is producing the finest quality chicks in the world for a very reasonable price so join the queue.

 

 

Thats a bold statement!

sorry jasper dont mean to sound like a boob, but what does double clutching mean? is this 2 clutches in one year? again sorry if its a stupid question

 

No need to apoligise mate its still a learning curve for all of us

 

Basically I would let her sit her eggs for around 8 - 10 days from the last egg, I then go in and pull the clutch from her which generaly when this is done she will Recycle on a second clutch in around 21 days at the most.

 

the first clutch will then go in the Incubator until they hatch which will be run on for around 6 days, by this time she will have layed her second clutch! if you get the drift . I'll then go in the aviary and take the second clutch and put the first clutch chicks back with her to rear. the second clutch eggs then go into the incubator until hatched, these can then either go under foster birds or if you like the first clutch can be removed from the mother and put into a Nursery aviary to rear themselves! by this time they will be around 5 - 6 weeks or more then anyway and more than capable of fending for themselves.

 

having said that alot opf pairs of Harris's will naturaly double clutch and even more, Unfortunately mine didn't so they needed some assistance.

 

cheers Jasp

 

Derek C triple clutched last year, if I am not mistaken......takes happy, fit and healthy Birds to achieve that.

You forgot to say YOUNG fit and healthy ! even then any bird only has so many eggs in her. why push her? My old pair are now 21 and 17, triple clutching her won't do her any favours except probably kill her!! the reason they have lived this long is mainly because they have been fit and healthy and previously flown regular. even in her younger days double clutching was plenty if you get them all off . risking a prolapse by pushing her for a few extra isn't my idea of breeding.

 

I'm sure Derek will also agree there's also No point in breeding too many birds from a species such as a Harrishawk which exceeds demand...........
