Wow 70! I set 45 but broke 2 and when I candled before lockdown I had only 14 developed.. The rest were totally clear. So I'm hoping the 14 that are left hatch. 2 out, 8 pipped and the rest chirping inside :)
Yay my 8 year old son wants teeny fried quail eggs for breakfast like his friend lol so I'm like ok lets get us some quail. I'm in Canada so not sure it will help you but I ordered from P&L gamebirds.
Ok I couldn't decide between light Sussex, cream legbar or pekin ducks so I ordered 6 dozen quail (Japanese, texas A&m and button) instead for my Halloween hatch. I'm going to need a second bator now to do the others...
Ooh see I've one spare chicken coop that I could use for a different breed that can hold 35 maybe and we have built a duck enclosure elsewhere with pond and all that's empty and waiting and I suppose I could always build more coops and just get all of them? But then I'm sure I will want more...
I have 6 days left on the batch of b.o.'s and I was going to start another batch of them on the 10th but I've been looking at light sussex and cream legbars all day. LS could be crossed with buffs for sex links and CL lay pretty blue eggs. Oh and I also want to hatch ducks too but had planned on...
I've got some chicks due to hatch Oct 5th so hopefully I can set another clutch in time to join you on the 10th. I'm in Canada and can donate Buff Orpington hatching eggs as a prize if that's any good?
