If I was you without being too greedy I would double them up if you have a Incubator or foster birds! pull the first clutch after a few days of Natural and get her to recycle giving you two clutch's in the one season! having said that some Harris's naturally doyble clutch weather pulled or not,,,, Give me a sec and I'l get some pic's up of the one just out Jasper Quote Link to post

jasper65 6 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Yes mate two out now and one now in Pip and in the Hatcher . Just had a Goshawk down and looking rough in the aviary, she missed a egg a couple of days ago but is still standing for semen so I feared the worst that she had gone egg bound... she was pushing as if she was either constipated or perhaps a egg stuck but either was getting more and more stressed as it went on, I took the decision to syringe some Liquid Parafin into her and felt the Lump inside her and milked it out! this is what finally came out which must have crippled her! I have had this before which is either a Calcium Ball or just seriousley bocked up... she looked pretty releived to get that out and Hopefully on the mend now but to be Honest I reckon it could have killed her...
