hello,

Nice to be here, ive hatched a few ducks in the past and helped out on farms and small holding but am now going to be trying my hand at button quail, ive brought a mixture of 2 dozen new stock American button quail eggs with a possibility of redbreast, Silver and pied.

Im so excited ive had to buy a new incubator and everything as i hatched the duck eggs in a homemade bator that sadly got broken but now ive got a more sturdy modle and just cant wait to collect the eggs Wednesday :D will be posting in the hatching section in a min as ive a few questions if anyone has used the type of bator ive brought ad any hint and tips for me.

Be seeing you on the forums i hope
