➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

I separated this current hatch of eggs into two in my hatching app to keep track of the fridge eggs separately.
I am afraid I will be losing the guessing game on how many of those will hatch.

I added this list to post number one for now so I can find it quick come hatch day.

Lost another B#4 chick yesterday. Can't tell you why. 26 remaining. The size difference between them. Way more small ones than the backyard eggs. Not quite half size wise. Very interesting, though.

B#3 the small wild male has almost caught up with the huge white ones. Almost, he is still small compared to them.

@Thornflower_gal Rose, update please, dear. Thank you. How are you getting along with your quail adventure?

B#4 is the Jumbos right?
My solo seems small too.
Let me go weigh him.

Oh, my. You are going full throttle on this. Enjoy! Thanks for dragging us along. Have the quail started hitting the kegs yet?

How old is it? 12 or 13 days I think.
I think it hatched on a Sunday.

Solo is doing well then?

I was so sure he was going to die.
He acts normal now.
I think he is small but it's hard to tell when I have nothing to compare him too.

the babies I just released are trying!! for some reason this batch has decided to live by the gate and try to escape every time I go in to feed!! no heads have been pulled off yet but a little falb fee has already been roughed up a little also heard one crying that had managed to wedge itself in between branches of the snowball bush! i managed to wiggle it out without injury.
hatch day update: several pips but 2nd guessing my set time as incubator still says day 16 may be waiting a bit

I'm sorry guys, I've just been so tired lately I haven't checked back here in a while. I am at 30 chicks now, and they are 2 weeks old. They have lots of pretty feathers now. 3 are wild type, 12 italian, 11 tibetan, and 4 tuxedos. I will send pics when I can. I caught a rat snake in the chicken pen yesterday, thank goodness my quail pens are snake-proof! Now I have a lot of posts to read through!
