    Supermarket Chick Questions

    Picture update on my two little babies!!! They are now about 16 days old. :love To my very inexperienced eye the brown wild type one (named Pickle) has a speckled breast so i’m guessing she is female?

    Supermarket Chick Questions

This was my 3rd attempt at hatching supermarket quail eggs... my first attempt I had 1 egg that fully developed, managed to pip internally but sadly never hatched out.

    Thanks :D, yes this is my first time with quail or in fact any birds at all! Always been fascinated with the idea of hatching chicks, but other than reading everything on this site I don’t know much about these lovely little creatures. The brown one is called Pickle and the smaller yellow one...

    Yes they’re only meant to be for eating! As far as I know they are not meant to be fertile but I read an article online about a woman who’d managed to hatch a quail from the supermarket so decided to try it myself. Can’t really believe it worked!
