    Wormout gel dose?

    Yes it is very confusing! The bottle gave that dose and said to give by mouth, then it had a section that said "adding to drinking water" and said "dilute as per dosage by mouth" I was certain the amount couldn't be right but that's all it said on the bottle.

    Egg's getting lighter in colour for the entire flock??

    best way to candle quail eggs?

    I have had no trouble candling the Japanese quail. Here is a photo of the egg with the least speckles, unusual to have them this clear, but I can easily see even the very speckled. I use a torch that is 220 lumens.
