SADsadSad
It is with a heavy heart that I have to Report that I have had to despatch my 2 HORSEFIELD eggs as they where not fertile.
To say I am gutted is an understatement. Thanks for all your advise. If anymore eggs appear I will try again for sure. Until then I intend to perfect my incubating technique. My likkle man is certainly a trier in the mating stakes but have to say my big girl is playing hard to get. Am still searching for another female to distract my likkle man so as to give her a rest. So if you here of any please PM me Thanks |

That's sad news Sue. Perhaps you can find yourself a little incubator and store it away for the next time. Good luck finding another female.

Don't lose heart Sue, you will get there in the end, it only took me 40 years
 And I've got 4 dud ones in the incubator, I think I'll get rid of them in a few more days
