Falcons recycled

[HuntersAll]

My 3 year old falcon laid 4 eggs in her first clutch first egg was on the 24 of march,though i soon realised things where not right when the teircel started to really harass the incubating falcon,aswell as jumping on her back while she was sitting he would be all over her when she came away to feed and showed no interest in the eggs.She was becoming very distressed and aggressive towards him though he wouldn't back down and continued to push her around,it all ended when i pulled the eggs,2 had been cracked due to all the drama on the nest ledge,but anyway they all proved to be clear.She had incubated for 19 days.I don't know how true it is,but i was told to pull the eggs before she had incubated past 21 days or she would'nt recycle.Well over a week ago they started copulating /vocalising like mad every afternoon,i now have 2 eggs first laid monday 1st that should most definatley be fertile from what iv'e seen :D ,might get another tomorrow there still copulating,if it all goes well,im'e looking forward to becoming self suficient with my own peregrinus gamehawks ;) .....

Hopefully the second clutch will be fertile for you mate.. whos lines do you have there? mike

[HuntersAll]

Hi mike,
The falcon was bred by T.ebbs from norfolk,the teircel was bred by d chilton.
I know the lines of my falcon,but not so much about the teircel other than he's a good gamehawk hunting at 1lb 8oz,she hunts at 2lb ....

Hi mike,
I never flew the tercel,but he's got a very good background and has been gamehawked hard :wink:

[HuntersAll]

Just a bit of a recap on my first post,
i got 3 eggs in the second clutch,until sunday gone i didn't know whether they where clear or fertile leaving them alone until then,but on the amount of copulation that went on in that aveiry :lol: it was very possible they could all turn out fertile and this was confirmed when i took them round to my friends D.S for him to finish them of for me,top guy ;) candled weighed and straight in the incu..am looking forward to chip chip next week: :supz: ...
