Thanks for the kind words, everyone.. He is doing well today and eating/drinking.. I'll keep a good eye on it and record weights as it grows.(I am avoiding "he" as I am hoping it's a hen..lol)

Just to note, in case you get another "big" egg,. I candled the 21 gr. egg and only ever saw one yolk that's why I decided to hatch it.. Check them if you get another, we could be onto something. I know little of genetics outside of what Moby has posted here(thanks, Moby), so it could just be a chance for an even larger quail breed. This egg only took a few hours longer to hatch but was still @ 17 1/2 days...

tatankas cannot be bought or sold, they must be gifted from a steward to a new steward.

 

also, I think its too hot to ship quail eggs from now to fall...

By  "steward" TD means,  "one who cares for", If you will....  Or "Keeper of the Tatanka" would work too.  There are a few around.... Good luck with your quest. Bill
