➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Genetically male chickens can be made to look like hens but they cannot actually become hens and will never lay eggs.

I've decided that we can't believe everything that we read. I read that same article and thought "Huh, that seems odd".

Yeah, wasn’t necessarily saying it was true, just what it said.

I don’t really believe it either. Seems a bit crazy.

And that article is also over 20 years old (1997) so I’m sure if it was true, they would have figured it out and been rich by now.

So I’ve been falling behind in posts and then playing catch up here and there. Lots of things keeping me preoccupied in the real world.

I’m super jealous of everyone still hatching on here but have packed it up for the winter myself. The temps are getting down in the 20s here and I’m a fair weather quail farmer at best.

We culled the covey down to 12 for the winter, put up a wind block, added lights on a timer and hung a new heated waterer. Hopefully maintenance will be minimal this winter since I do deep bedding. If the weather is too extreme I could always cull and start over in the spring. We’ll see.

I want my eggs to be here today! They're scheduled to arrive on Thursday.

I've turned into a hatching addict.

Edit: What I'm really looking forward to is seeing if my own eggs are fertile, and what comes out from a falb fee/silver cross.

I think I’m turning into a hatching addict too

The aviary is up, and just in time for the cold snap coming this weekend! It’s fun to see the little buggers zip around, but there are definitely a few that are pretty low on the totem pole now that the three cages have merged into one. Anyone have any suggestions for fake plants/enrichment that your birds really like?

Good to see you reach the same conclusion that the rest of us already knew.

I’ve been a hatching addict for a while who can turn down fluffy peeps in a bator

Which one? The pen from Amazon is 20 square feet, so I would put up to 12 adult birds in there or maybe 30 teens? The coop is 12 square feet, so I would put up to 8 adult birds in there, or 20 teens to grow out.

So about 1.5 birds per sq/ft I seen in a video of myshire farms where he said like 3 birds per sq/ft is this not the correct amount is that to many?
