We have 2 fulicas (at least I assume they are, I got them off eBay last September). A couple of months ago we decided to keep a clutch of eggs and see what came out. They hatched on the 2nd of April. Here is a very hastily put-together web site with some pictures. www.spacewarp.co.ukAny comments are welcome! Dave |

Great photo's..make sure you keep taking them as they grow. Will do. I'm very new to this. Have I got the species right? I'm looking at other pictures of fulicas on this site, and ours don't look the same. I'll put some pics of the big ones on the website. |

aww..cute little babies and great to keep a record ;D Thankyou! Day 28 up now. 4 weeks old and averaging 10mm in length. They're more robust now and easier to pick up, even with my big thick man-fingers. |

Hi Dave,
lovely pics. Your two big fulicas are beautiful. I have 4 but their shells are more of a brown colour with fewer stripes. I'm new to this forum too and I go to Uni in Nottingham. In term time I live in Beeston, although I only come to Long Eaton to do my shopping (Asda).
Best of luck with the babies, mine haven't laid any eggs yet!

I work at Trent. Plus I do my shopping at Asda! Small world. How old are your fulicas then? Mine are coming up to a year, but have only laid 2 clutches so far. I suspect they are siblings, which might not be good news for their offspring. Maybe fulica-swopping would be a good plan for deepening the genetic pool! |
