nevjoe Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 First let me say You should go to the welcome room The Grey's can have as little as one, or up to seven or more. I hope I helped.

lovemyGreys Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Most clutches have from three to five eggs with three being the average. The eggs are laid about three to four days apart with the hen usually not beginning incubation until after the second or third egg is laid. The babies begin hatching 28-30 days later and hatch about one to two days apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 2 to 3 is the norm. 4 is a bit more difficult unless the hen has an overabundance of calcium. Out of 4 eggs, some times one will be clear or infertile.<br><br>Post edited by: MrSpock, at: 2007/10/13 23:39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Oh wow Mabes, you have a breeding pair, thats awesome!! Looks like you got you own answer, no less than from your Grey itself :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Awww!! Little grey eggs!! So cute!! Good luck with all you have in store! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MabesM Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 They have been together for at least 10 years that I know of... They get along well... although in their last JAIL Gracie was thoughtful enough to relieve poor George of his head feathers! They are growing in nicely and so are the feathers around her legs... :woohoo: I figure that was from the constant aggravation... They are constantly in the nest box taking care of the eggs and i make sure not to disturb them as much as possible... I noticed they "giggle and chat" with each other alot more now! I think it's so precious! I would like to get them some more toys... and change the ones they have... but one step at a time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
