Haha. Its worked just fine for me. I think you just like to be nosey with your eggs. I bet you would go for an ultrasound once a week if you were pregnant.

She has a kid so now I wanna know if she did this.

No...I just got the regular ultrasounds.
I can't even remember how many but I'm thinking maybe just two during the pregnancy.

Too expensive to do extra ultrasounds unless you Need them drs orders or work in an ultrasound lab

But if we couldve candled our bellies? Boy... the children may never have gotten any sleep

Nowadays...I'd probably buy my own ultrasound machine.

Hmm... that’s true. They’re probably like your baby’s fine, you don’t need extra ultrasounds

Quail Batch #6 - 42 backyard eggs in the incubator.
They've really dropped laying the last 2 weeks, when I wanted eggs for incubation!
Planning QB#7 right behind this one. Grow out during October and November for winter stores.

This may get my total closer to 100.

I moved the entire brooder group to the shed today and put heat plate in since temps are lower than last couple weeks. i have lost a few from the small homegrown batch last weekend. a button made a successful escape earlier today and the older “runt” has also escaped once. both of those were safely returned to the group, however, my headcount today is 1 button short of what I thought I had so not sure if it became an unknowing doggie snack or what?? we flipped couches and did a search just in case but they are safely in what is hopefully a “button-proof” cage now!! no more fake quailies for me!! it’s too heartbreaking!!
