EGGS
Posted: 24/09/2010 by donnafj

Hi

We have been lucky enough to have two eggs laid this year, one of which successfully hatched this week. Can anyone advise us of the timescale between eggs from the same cluth hatching? We think the second egg is fertile but are not sure how long to leave this in incubation if it doesn't hatch soon.

Many thanks

Paul & Donna

Glad he/she is doing well :-)  

Can take a wk or 2 before they eat, when they do its usually just little tiny amounts, more important that you give a little bath everyday, you can usually see them drinking, watch its neck as it glugs down the water :-)

All the best  xx Cath
