Title: When will they Fledge? Post by: Carol P. on 09-Jun-15, 08:11:45 AM This is a very good question. Our 3 eyases hatched on 5/5, 5/6 and 5/7. The average from hatch to fledge is 42-44 days. So, going from the first hatch on 5/5, today is the 35th day since hatching. That means that they should start fledging around 6/16-6/18, which is next Tuesday-Thursday. Of course it's not an exact science and we know that the boys will probably fledge before the much larger/heavier Cadence (female).
Does someone want to check my math? :lol: Title: Re: When will they Fledge? Post by: Carol P. on 09-Jun-15, 08:48:25 AM Kathy O checked my math and says its' good. Thanks Kathy!!! :thanx:

There is definitely always the chance of an early or premature fledge. Title: Re: When will they Fledge? Post by: Shaky on 09-Jun-15, 10:01:50 AM This is a very good question.

Does someone want to check my math? :lol: You can also calculate a fledge date by comparing this year to last year. Last year, the first egg was laid on April 8. This year it was March 27, a difference of 12 days. Last year, the first egg hatched on May 17. This year it was May 5, a difference of 12 days. Last year, the first eyas (a male) fledged on June 26. A difference of 12 days puts this year's first fledge on June 14. Title: Re: When will they Fledge? Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 09-Jun-15, 10:21:31 AM I use a spreadsheet (my life is one huge spreadsheet)
hatch + 40 days + 45 days best guess hatch order 5/5/2015 6/14/2015 6/19/2015 Genesee 5/6/2015 6/15/2015 6/20/2015 Cadence 5/7/2015 6/16/2015 6/21/2015 Bronx Title: Re: When will they Fledge?

Title: Re: When will they Fledge? Post by: Bonnie on 16-Jun-15, 08:42:46 AM They could all fledge together!! In different directions. Or, in the same direction.
