Oh my, my immediate thought when I read about you needing it to rain....Run a hose off the roof over the pen, hook up a fan to blow the water toward the pen. Ya we need rain too, dark and billowy but no rain drops. My neighbor came over to see the babies. Looking right at them asked where...

Its 98f with a heat index of 108f today here and will only go down into the 80s tonight. My grow out pen needs some more shelter as I have been told they cant get wet for at least 7 weeks. If I can get it totally protected from rain my walking stomachs will be going out next week! Need a...

Like the idea of screen, I'll cut out a piece for the bator. I think I'll use that over the 1/2 x1/2 Hardware cloth on the grow out pen floor for the first few weeks. I know they will be going out at 2 weeks. I'll just cut two and change them out and hose um down. Thanks for the Idea. I was...

Sorry, my DH moved the computer mother lode today, forgot the password to reset everything so its taken some time to get reset up. Anyway. Yes, I opened all eggs last night, I lost 6 small eggs that were fully grown, but those eggs were small, I should not have hatched them and will not in...

This was my first hatch with quail. But I was advised by various breeders when doing the lock down to take the turner out and put the trays with the eggs back into the bator to hatch. The turner actually holds the egg upright so they positioned good for the hatch and don't start pipping...

Quailfamah, thank you. I thought they were but wasn't sure with those strips. I have 3 so hope I have 1 male to 2 hens. They are doing just fine. No losses yet. Can't believe they ate and wasted 2 cups of food in less than 1 day. They really are little eating machines.

No new eggs popping, here are the Magnificent Seven and the rest of the 78 hatchies. Some in the bator This one dropped to the floor and my Schnauser caught in mid air and set it down Feed me.....No I'll find my own.... drop Following are the Seventy Eight 2 A& M Whites 3 Yellow/White...

Baby Brown Jumbos Hatching More babies Ok I'll get him to take more pics later in the brooder. Nothing hatching since noon. But yesterday they started in around 4PM so either the hatch is done or still waiting to start up again.

Ok, Ok DH took pictures yesterday but hasn't loaded them yet. I'll get him to do that and take more before I separate them into different brooders so they can have a little more space once they are done hatching. The hatch goes on into today and tonight. These are much quiter and calmer...

Shelleyd, they seem to be doing fine, they are coming out clean and good. I removed the 2nd batch to the brooder and finished drying them there to make more room in the incubator, (I put chicks in a small box, surrounded with kitchen shelf textured cushion to move them so they don't get a draft...

I have 2 of the Thermometer/Hydrometers in there, and another Thermometer. They all read the same for the most part. They are right on schedule. These are the Jumbo Browns not the A&M's as I had thought. I think the early birds were extras he had left after the previous sale, would have...

Now they are popping like pop corn. It really is amazing how they do that. They just keep poppingm haven't stopped since they started this time. Edited to Add: So far Bad eggs/Chicks -2, Magnificent Seven + 23+=32+ Note to self, Magnificent 7 of 10, last to be loaded from the egg box (there...

Almost lost one. DS who is an adult and should know better, just had to pick one up. It calmly sat in his hand then started climbing his arm. Then jumped. Fortunatly my Schnauzer was there to catch it in mid air. He set it down and proceded to clean it. Then DS picked it up and put it...

Well, my incubator won't be free to start a new hatch until July 8th I think it is. I can relate to the rat problem. Bought a bale of hay and it was full of them, I guess. Had to send my Schnauzer to ground in the Duck house to clear them out. He checks all the houses and runs daily now...

Shellyed, that is what I'll be doing, the 1st to hatch was at noon, so OK, I'll give the latest another hour to dry before I run them to the brooder in DS's bathroom. That's going to fix him for not telling me about the reds. He thought he'd sneak them in on me and he did. So how much...

No, mine don't look like that Rebel Rooster, eggs do. ShellyD I think I do have Cortunix J. some of the eggs are very small but probably from young birds. I think it's just that so far none of the A&M's just haven't hatched. There is one that has a Cinnamon strip right down the middle of...

No, mine aren't the English whites. Mine are supposed to be the Texas A&M white's, no colors, no splits. TA&M Whites are white, with a spot on their head, showing a brown, gold or tibetan. These are brown, as they are drying they look to be Tibetan. I have sent an E-mail to the seller, to...

The only popcorn popping is in the kitchen. The dining room now at the start of day 17 has one lone little quail, that keeps making its way from one set of eggs in the corner to another 3 rows over. It keeps peeping quietly but they still don't want to come out to play. I'm just waiting...

Noon had one little thing pop. Its a baby quail. Its brown not white. I bought 100 Texas A&M's but the extra's are either Wilds, Tibetan or? I know he has buttons too so....sweet surprise:ep. yes, its about the size of my thumb. Temps stable at 100 throughout hatch, I have 3...

Ya, I'm not expecting them to hatch until sunday or monday. Are you familiar with Manna Pro game bird food, that's the only one I can get right now . Tuesday Purina comes in and I'll get that. But it will be 3 weeks before I can get my Lone Star game bird starter. They forgot to order it...
