Kok Loh,

Never buy and Sell swiftlet eggs, Fellow BHs owners !!!!! you don't need the extra ringgit by selling Bird Eggs. If you want to sell eggs, sell duck eggs or chicken eggs. We, Swiftlets ranchers are protectors of swiftlets....we protect them from harm and we harvest the nest. Fair deal. Never harm the hand that feed..... that's my opinion.

7 years ago before I started Swiftlets farming, I was curios about the industry and happened to have a far relative doing Swiftlet ranching in Indo. Phone him up and he was most willing to help me but another far relative came to know about what I was going to start, phone me to refrain me from doing it.

His argument was that those who are in this trade do have good life and bad omen may pass to the next generation. He asked me to go to Indo to have a look at those families involve in BHs.

Now, after into the trade for so many years, I understand why.
In Indo, they harvest irrespectively of whether with eggs or babies. If the nests are big enough, they are harvested. We became killer of life and worse of those who kill the hands that feed. I was never of that type and that's why I am blessed with thousands of birds. I let them multiply and multiply. Forget the consultants that tell you that white nest fetch better price and that half cup is better than quarter cup. Thousand quarter cups is better than  hundred half cups. Let the swiftlets multiple and soon you have result that you never have imagine. But the most importance of all, it is good for your soul and God bless you for that.

This is the truth that if you allow the swiftlets to breed and not being selfish,
you will see your BH improve very fast. Once, a consultant told me to harvest nest irrespective of eggs or chicks for that most of the new birds aren't your's anyway. Just think, if everyone do the same, where come the new birds. Do you really think that GOD create birds, too. No, GOD create our hearts. Even if I lose 70% of the new birds, I still have an increment of 30% new birds. Then, if other BHs did the same, I may end up having more than 100% increment in new Birds in every 4 months cycle; more from other BHs.

But....but If all follow that consultant's advice and what's balance 0 new bird to be share.

100% agree.
