so I’m incubating and not so informed with genetics.was curious if my Texas a&m hen and my pharaoh males fertile eggs hatch what color variation will come from it ?will they chicks be white ,brown,mixed ???any ideas?
Does anyone process their button quail for meat ?the eggs are senseless and aside ornamental pet bird ,I wondered if there's any good amount of meat from them ....???
Finally today I start my first lockdown on my homemade coolerbator.so excited mostly all eggs are developed .have about ten cot eggs in can't wait to see this weekend if my hard work paid off I'll be happy with a 40/50 %hatchrate being a beginner
So I've been incubating some of my coturnix hens eggs it's hard candling but many show development ....should hatch this upcoming weekend .and going to lockdown in two days any one have any special suggestions for still air incubator lockdowns ?
Waiting for the bobwhite to warm up to her coturnix friends .she still seems to be in shock eat drinks but quiet and still in her pet cage .anyone know how many months it takes before she lays ?
Hahaha so question I'm incubating my hens eggs and I have a pharaoh coturnix wondering if it's possibly that the chicks come out in different color patterns than the parents ???any info????
Would anyone know of any broody quails buttons or regular size .im looking into buying broody females to hatch the coturnix eggs.or what other bird species would be good substitutes
Im still new to owning chickens( 1 barrex rock roo, e.o hen, and a pair of dutch bantams.) I just bought a sunny side up incubator off ebay im on day 4 with 8 bantam eggs in it. Any advice on incubating would greatly be appreciated....hopefully ill have some more bantams for my growing small...
So i ended up with a red broiler .idk much about chickens its been a month since i bought my barred rock roo now this red broiler hen...has anyone had or know if red broilers go broody?
Got her at a poultry market. Such a sweet mellow girl compared to my barred rock rooster ...does any know what mix she can possibly be ....im pretty new to the chicken world lol;)ud
