Hi Diz, I had large numbers of 8s 9s and 10s years ago. Mainly out of Australian yellows bred in a colony of 5 or more prs,so they might not have been thier own eggs. Most survived,but some could be up to eight days younger and got trampled by thier older siblings. Cheers Craig

Years ago I had one clutch of 9 raised to maturity out of a pair of Black head normals....

Hi vettepilot_6 Beside them being stressed out,they sound like they were good parents. cheers dizzy

A couple of 8s in recent years but mostly 4 to 7.

I had a hen sitting on 12..yes 12! eggs!! I ended up culling eggs back to 8 by doing a candle of each of the eggs and put back in the nest those I was positive were fertile and about the same stage of development. (hopefully the right thing to do)

I've had 7 fledge and all survive a couple of times but strangely not in the last 5 years or so. No doubt those who've had 8s, 9s and more are also keen fishermen!

8 is my best, no runts in the clutch, all fledging the same day and able to fly well.

8s, 9s and more ? I love it when you talk dirty Those that say that the size of your clutch doesn't matter, obviously only have small clutches. And, NO, I don't have a Japanese accent!
