Hi Crocdoc,



That is not the data or results I am asking for.



In order to compare any method in husbandry, one must take data. So lets act a bit like biologists. Lets take data first, then that will allow for discussion, thanks



Please list,



1. number of females

2. age at first clutch

3. number of eggs per clutch, fertility, hatchrate

4. number of clutches per year, with above details

5, reproductive longevity.



With this information, we hopefully can get somewhere.



After we have a base to work from, we can then discuss other areas of husbandry that may effect reproductive effort and success.



We can then discuss possible comparisons to their natural history.



We can then discuss how these methods are related to the parts of the world we live in, etc.



Without the above data(results) we are indeed pissing in the wind. All REAL discussions require a foundation, and these results are the foundation.



Thanks for your imput. Best wishes
