Barbaryboy,
Look near the bottom of the main page and you will see a section on breeding.

Also, if you would sign your name to your posts.

Glad to have you here and we hope you enjoy and share a lot!!!!!

Lee i have 5 of my six pairs of barbaries laying this year, 19 eggs in the 1st clutches, only two chicks to show for it though? 3 fertile (one damaged on collection) the rest infertile? 3 barbary X peregrine chicks from a clutch of 4, 3 fertile all hatched! then ive got a few harrisses but im getting rid of all 4 prs after this breeding season, i really need the room for my red shaheens and scottish peregrines? i allso have 3 fertile gyr eggs out of a clutch of 4 and 4 fertile gyr/sakers out of a clutch of 5. so its not all doom and gloom but as allways i should have done a lot better? but then theres allways 2nd clutches?

Excellent stuff, I am envious of the relaxed breeding permitting (if there are even any required) and the variety of bird species you guys have access too over there...

I have high hopes and dreams of starting a breeding project as well but I need to get a few otherthings in line and taken care of before I bite that project off.

Pics of your birds and your breeding chambers would be fabulous if you had any to share...

Regards,
