Wow. This thread is still going strong. I hope everybody is well. Been a while since I was on. I'm looking forward to getting my bators back out. Maybe next year Well see. Got a lot of catching up to do.

I'm in the Monroeville area. Not that far away. :frow

Well, looks like I'm getting out of the quail business for a while due to health problems. I may need some of you to help me get started in the future. I haven't been on much lately even though I have been watching when I could. Got some bad news last week and am looking at surgery soon. Trying...

I don't open the bator until the last egg hatches. 2 to 2 1/2 days. I have left them for 3 days with no trouble but 2 days is pushing it. Eggs hatching after that usually don't make it.

My quail hatch has been put off for a while. I was saving eggs to set this week and things out of my control changed my plans. :hmm I knew better than to go there. I knew it was a bad decision. :oops: Tractor supply has chicks. :wee I came home with 12 Isa Browns and 3 assorted ducks...
