Not a good day again, came home to see that pekin pair sitting on 3 of theyre own and 1 mesia egg has thrown 2 eggs out , both full ready to hatch saturday. Looks like mesia egg is one of them.in the second pen the mesia pair has 2 eggs now in the nest but not sitting yet, hope they will tomorrow with third egg.

Hi Florin,
Sorry to read about the Mesia's that's really frustrating. Hope they settle down as they are beautiful birds. Are Pekins and Mesia easy to source in Canada?
regards
Mark.

Hi Mark, as far as i know i am the only one keeping mesias in Canada(i hope i am wrong),as far as pekins there are more around but only a handful of breeders most likely less then 5if that. Since Peter Karsten stopped keeping them there are only available if importers can get them in from Europe.Not a great outlook for them in this country for sure, but bird keeping in general is declining big time since younger generations are not interested in this hobby.

I would love to but its a massive headache getting permits here and importers charge huge money for them as it is a costly and time consuming endeavour.mesias cost about $1600 US in the states and pekins are getting close to that amount.
