I am now raising Jumbo Browns and Texas A&M's. I have had an offer for as many birds as I can hatch from a hunting club here in my state but I have no idea as to what prices to charge nor at what age I should try to sell them. Any and all info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading...
Sad news to report here. Had quail eggs from my partner in the incubator. First the bulb went out in my homemade bator. I don't know how long that was off but still wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I brought every thing in the house as it was time for the hatcher anyway. Now I...

I've been getting the same thing. Never know if my eggs hatched or not. Don't even know if they arrived in good shape.
ETA: Just saw the report of this swap.. Me thinks maybe I should read ALL posts...lol
I got one lone duckie from my eggs. It's all black with a little yellow bib. Can it be a pure Cayuga or a mix of Magpie and Cayuga? I'm not familiar with ducks at all but I love this little one.
Congratulations Mulia on the new chicks. I know you have wanted them for a long time and my heart rejoices to see that you finally have them. I also have the problem of others not wanting to talk chickens all the time. Neither my friends nor family understand why I love them. We have both...

Oh what beauties!! Can't wait to see what I get. Since I have never seen a Magpie that will be something to watch. Too bad I didn't get any of the Cayugas, I have been looking for some for a long time. I have a friend that has cervical cancer and she has a drake but no hen. I...
I candled my duckie eggs today. Out of the 11 that survived the P.O. trip I only have 5 with lots of movement. All others were clear with broken air sacs. Of the 5 two are marked B and 3 are marked A. Ducks, could you please tell me what I am trying to hatch here?? Not knowing is driving me...
Got my eggs today! 11 beautiful Duck? eggs??? One not so pretty.. it was all wet and gooey but no crack that I could see. Going to candle tonight before I put them in to toast.
My eggs will go out tomorrow afternoon.
farrier! :
bloomnbeauty How many quail did you have hatch?
Quail are hatching now. Out of 7 that made it to the hatcher I have 5 so far. Will get pics tomorrow when I take them to the brooder.
What kind of quail do I have?...lol
My moms favorite way of punishment was a quick unexpected slap right across the face. Her second was to send us out to get our own switch and if it wasn't big enough she used that one and sent us for another.
My dads punishment was to have us stand on our tiptoes with our nose against the wall...
I got three quail hatched today so far also. Will get pics when they come out of the hatcher.
Oops!! Just checked and two more of the lil buggers are out and jumping!
edited to add more babies!
Great pics!!! Look how they have grown in such a short time. Looks like you might have a roo or two in there also. You have indeed done a good job of caring for them. They look healthy and happy. Thanks for the update.
Mulia, glad to see your chicks have turned into great looking chickens. You take very good care of them. I think of you often and wonder how things are with you. Please keep us updated on your chickens and yourself. I know I am not the only one that still check this thread daily. We all...
I'm in for the Nov. swap!
The swaps are a good way to try different breeds without spending a fortune only to find out you don't like that breed. And if you do like it you know right where to buy more when you are ready.
A great BIGGGG thanks to you Shelleyd for hosting this swap for us...
