Just got my order of quail eggs in the mail! This is the first time i've ever ordered eggs before so im pretty excited. I have a really quick question for you all! There's a note in the box that says- Upon arrival please let the eggs rest 24 hrs. prior to incubation. My question is, do I leave...

Im not a 'scovy expert but Im pretty sure male muscovies get pretty big and since she doesnt seem to be larger than your pekin, i'd assume she was a female. She looks to be about the same size as my muscovy girl. I guess we'll know for sure in time!

Well I ordered 15 eggs so depending on how much hatch between 1-15

Thanks! Its a convienent pen because it's built on to the side of my house so I can enter/exit it without ever leaving my house! Makes morning feedings a breeze!
