Congrats, Jen! Really nice hatch!

1 wk from today and ill def keep this feedback in mind thanks!

I shipped double boxed in bubble wrap a couple times (no sales, just to friends) and i only ever had one cracked egg. Yes its a pain to do and undo but totally worth while to get a decent shipment.

*wondering if he has chicken egg size foams*

So exciting! If he doesn't have chicken foam I think I saw them somewhere else online. If I remember or find the site I'll let you know

I know I’ve seen the chicken-sized foams somewhere... Amazon, maybe. I would rather pay extra for the foams than unwrap the bubble-wrapped ones.

Congrats !!


I am a little down because I just had to put down Penguin, one of my first hatched babies, and my last of that bloodline (I sold his brothers because he was so much nicer). One of his girls randomly turned on him and scalped him overnight. He was recovering until today, but he seemed to have gone downhill fast and was acting like infection had reached his nervous system. I feel bad. He was a good bird. He chittered at me when I did my chores every day. It is actually my first quail-on-quail fatality ever RIP little dude.




In better news, 88 celadon and 8 research eggs from JMF into the big incubator, 15 celadon, 8 research, and 17 of my own eggs from my best two trios into the small one. (I miscounted @el dorado quail it was exactly 120, and only 1 cracked, so not too shabby!). Hand turning for now in the little guy - I don't like it's tray anyways, it likes to get eggs stuck upside down.

I swear I'm not terrible at counting, just...observing. I forgot some rows had 7 instead of 8!

Still, that's a lot of extras, I think we'll get plenty.
