Bill I agree 100%..It really takes doing it to get a feel for it..your can read how to drive a car but till you get behind the wheel you can't explain what it's really like..Originally Posted by Bill Buchman
There is no substitute for DOING -- as it cements it for you as REAL. Like the surgeon creed goes: "See one, do one, teach one". Reading EVERYTHING MANY times WILL help it all sink in. Like you, I would read stuff and think I understood the sequence of things -- only to back the next day and be confused. If you have never breed ANY animals before (I had not) it will seem very foreign for a while.
After you start pairing, seeing locks and ovulations, begin setting up eggs etc.... you will become more comfortable. If you do it enough it will become "no big deal" and second nature for the most part.
I would spend some money and get a substantial incubator if it were me. I have made a couple of my own since buying my first -- a Good AppleI have been very happy with it. I slept well when my eggs e=were cooking. I know I would have NEVER rested had I been using any kind of hovabator. I trust that many have been successful with them -- just not for me.
Good Luck! Breeding is not that hard -- and it does get easier over time.
