I know the incubation is ridiculous in length and the hatch rate is never great but is anyone or does anyone know of someone that is considering a breeding project with Parson's?
Thanks

At what temps. did you incubate the eggs?
How many eggs were in the clutches you produced?
I think that its highly likely that I had too much moisture in the vermiculite during the final few months of incubation, which caused the egg shells to become thicker and more leather like. I don't think it ever got too warm for the eggs, topping out at 70 degrees at most. I did my best to keep the eggs around 65, but again, I was new to this back then and didn't have an incubator.What kind of laying set up did you have for the females.
So you think the eggs were too wet and not too warm?
What kind of shape were the ones in that did hatch?
Here's a pre-lay picture of the chick that laid them.Those look like chicken eggs, are you sure???
How old is she and how many did she lay?
Hatchrite.Steve is that hatchrite or just perlite your using?
how much larger are they compared to veiled or panther eggs?
She came into the states in 2003. I'm guessing she was close to a year old then. Had her green color back in the NERD promo picture that year. So 6, or 7 years old is my guessing. Frist clutch ever that she laid, 36 eggs in Feb. 08, that where non viable, or kept too moist. Second clutch was laid Nov. 09 with a total of 20 eggs laid. Fingers-crossed.
