I know a breeder who has 30 + pairs and only 4 of them are yielding chicks.  
Your rate with a known hen is also low.   The production rate of birds is 
lower than I *had* imagined ... a problem that needs adressed by scientists, 
IMO.  (Now) knowing the low rates, I don't feel so bad about my pair.  But 
when one reads in Bird Talk of David Blynn and his rates and Howard Vorn and 
his rates, a guys gotta wonder, eh?  (rhetorical ... wouldn't want to tap out 
your brain again ... )
