If all the eggs laid so far get hatched out I should have quite a few by the end of this month, got 9 pairs going in various stages, one pair are just flying around not even interested in the boxes, others have eggs, then this pair with young in the nest.
Ive got eggs from a BH WC GB pair too that look fertile. :D They are due to hatch about 19th March, fingers crossed.
