Well when we raised pheasants and chuckers it was usual to lose a few but we bought the birds already hatched. Chickens too. We lost very few chickens though. When we let the hens set they really didn't lose very many a snake would get one or two as they got bigger. But I kept the snakes in the barn cause they took care of the mice and starlings etc. Mr 16..if you can get hatched birds it may make it easier. Heat lamp and water.. hatched are not cheap however.. Luck to uou with the rest

Well, I went disected out the remaining eggs today....out of the 29 I received, 12 were nothing but yolks...infertile. That's around 41%, which I feel is kind of unacceptable.
The other thing is that I went back and reread the directions, and I found out that I misread them the first time around....I was suppose to add more water to the 2nd bin in the tray when I went to take them out of the turner to hatch.....so it is the inability to read directions on my part why the others didn't hatch.....  ....I'm kinda P.O.ed at myself right now.At any rate, I'll probably try again later this summer, with eggs from a different source. Thanks again.............
