    Quail Hatch - Thought I had more time!

    I got my dates wrong and thought I was on day 13, but I woke up to peeps from my egg-turner incubator. Now that I look at the calendar, it's actually day 15, so they are early, but my issue is I have been doing staggered hatches and have eggs on day 9 in there as well. I see pipped eggs in...

    Weasel Saga Continues...

    Caught a baby ermine in the live trap today and mama was right there trying to get it out. She followed us around the yard. It's legal in NYS to take weasels damaging property (i.e. the 10 quail they murdered a few days ago). I'm wondering if it would be logical to use baby as bait since mama...

    First HG-only hatch

    Lockdown! Hoping to see pips tonight. I set a second batch in the first brooder after I moved the first batch to the lockdown brooder. I can’t wait to see what colors and personalities emerge! I don’t know if it’s the stock (Myshire) or that I played podcasts not stop in the brooder, but this...

    The new batch!

    Well, it’s been two years since the weasel incident that took 40 of my beautiful young quails from me. The survivors living in the hutch are aging out of producing eggs, so I decided it was time to add a new batch to the covey. I ordered 75 hatching eggs from Myshire: Pansy fee, SSC, and...

    Two bators set same day, hatching different days

    On day 19 of a coturnix hatch. We set 75 shipped eggs and 43 home grown jumbos on 6/1. The GoF bator started hatching on day 15 while pips seemed to just have been starting yesterday for the farm innovator. I’m assuming the temps were lower in the second which slowed down the hatch? Just...

    Stray…maybe Rhode Island Red?

    This chicken just showed up in the barn yesterday. Was just curious what she might be. I see similarities to RIR but I have no experience in chicken breed identification.

    Attacked by? Graphic pics.

    I’m on vacation and have a friend watching my quail. She sent these pics yesterday and was very upset. Something got into the barn and had a quail murder spree. But why just their heads!? I was thinking rats? I’m almost completely sure the coop has been proofed from anything larger than that...

    Extra fluffy jumbo white?

    My second hatch I have one chick that is noticeably floofier than it’s hatchmates of the same order. Does anyone know if it will affect its adult plumage? I love it! Here’s a normal one and the fluffy one for comparison.

    Good Morning!

    Hi, I'm Rebecca! I'm happy to be a member and wanted to introduce myself, so here is my survey! My first quail hatch is on day 18 with only one hatched so far... (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, brand new! I don't have any yet, but am trying to hatch some...
