Bob - I have a buyer that will be purchasing (all frozen) 250 quail at 2.5 ounces each and 250 quail at 5.5 oz each monthly. I've never eaten any quail (yet) but given the cost and that I can grow it myself is very appealing. I especially like knowing it lived in clean conditions. The eggs are very interesting. I had one unshelled egg and I opened it and it was a huge yolk in that egg. Very surprising given the size of the egg. They hatch in 16-18 days and start laying around 6-8 weeks. I've had dove before, but was not pleased with all the bb's in the meat. I'm very excited about the incubator. I like the staggering hatches. I've been using one with a turner and one without and using a still air as a hatcher. I picked up a TX6 a while ago but haven't given it a run yet. I'm heating it up now to see how it works.
I've moved all my brooder chicks into a recycle bin and put them in the kitchen. I don't want to loose anymore. I put their brooder lamp down to the youngsters on the ground level for extra heat. I need to make another run out to see if they are ok. If they seem cold, I have one recycle bin available. *Sigh* I hope there are no issues.
5Pinkarrows - I love Savers. I go on Mondays for books. Buy 4 get one free. I've gotten all kinds of books for 99¢, when I'm in Phoenix on Mondays I always stop. Im currently shopping for History and Language Arts books for the kids. Its a great place for chapter books too. I've gotten entire series books for next to nothing. Also, if your into sewing they have quite a selection of odd fabrics. I've been making quilts with it. You know that old saying about one mans junk is anothers treasure. I love other peoples junk!
