What kind of Quail facilities do you have?

Won't feeding them back to the girls create problems by enticing them to eat them in the nest?

Will the CornishX breed?

Thanks you I was surprised. There are still a few stragglers coming out. I removed the rack from the quail eggs this AM, they are due Saturday. Yeeha!

Great success! I saved up 52 eggs at the beginning of the month, put them in my Leahy 416 and the eggs started popping on Memorial Day. They are still coming out and I expect we will have 41 success stories . Saturday, my 30 Quail eggs start.

We were butchering the Giant Whites or other of the many names they call them. Now we have switched to Heritage breeds so we can incubate our own and eliminate the cost of the initial purchase. We started with The Rhode Island Reds and they are nothing but soup chickens, now this year we are...

Thank you

I was just given a Leahy 416 incubator. The cord was cracked so I replaced it and it fired right up. I am trying to set the temp right now and it seems to adjust well. I just have to figure out how to run it. It looks like I can roll the eggs by pulling out the handles in the racks. Does...

Thank you, good advice and I appreciate it. Pat

Thank you, I actually have two broody turkeys in the same nest. Once the chicks hatch, do I have to keep the Tom away from them?

Will my turkey hatch my chicken eggs too?

You folks all speak in some sort of a strange code. What the heck. Have fun.

I would like to participate too, am I too late?

Sorry, how silly of me. It is a Leahy Favorite incubator model 416. Pat
