omg max! you are beautiful! I bet he will make beautiful babies! I hope my first little batch comes out with a cutie like max. But max is a winnerView attachment 3253926Max is so stunningI love how his feathers shine
He's almost metallic... so pretty.
His chick colour was yellow with silver stripes, which I've now learnt is the indicator of a silver red breasted. Although his head feathers are now starting to get darker so I now suspect he's a silver?dilute? Darth (silver blue faced redbreasted) he did have darker shading on his head as a chick xx
So cute! Are you going to hatch some of his eggs? love to see how his babies turn out?
Exciting! I'm on the edge of my sit right now my eggs have been in the incubator for 12 days, the first time hatching/having quail. So worried that the air sack isn't in right place. I don't know how you guys do it!I need to select him a mate first but yes I intend toxx
What type of quail did u choose? Mine are Chinese painted/Button quails.
but both were wiggling in the water so there's definate live chicks in there 
I was originally going to do buttons, they are so freaking cute. But I doing Coturnix first because of all the society craziness. I already dropped the top of the incubator on some eggs completely killing a fertile egg and cracked two of them but tossed some nail polish on them. I so far started with11 eggs, two unfertile, one dead, and two cracked. So am hoping no more issues with the 8 eggs I got left. And I hear buttons are even more difficult to hatchWhat type of quail did u choose? Mine are Chinese-painted/Button quails.
And the worry and excitement don't stop after the first hatch
I'm still waiting for 2 eggs to hatch. Got impatient and did the water float test coz I was worried I was just watching eggs rot
They're my coveys very first lay so I'm sat with bated breath
U best off sealing cracks with wax (I use birthday candles)
Oh what a good idea, I like your system.
