How's the hatching season for anyone ?
Mine ain't too good this year .. hatching under broodies roughly 2 per head .. best being 4 ..
a duck with 9 ducklings (had 11 out of 12 eggs so good result)
no gosling with 2 sitting goose .. all hopes for the 3rd one ..

I had to sell my bator just before the move as it wouldnt work over here anyway and am soooooo wishing I had one again! I cant do chickens in our rented garden but could do jumbo quail easy enough.
I WANT to do quail (stamps feet) This time of year the urge to raise something, ANYTHING, is overwhelming  
The veg are doing quite well, although the 4 inch caterpillars just make me wish for chickens even more
