➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

You guys have a great system. Thank you for sharing!

Much better system than mine. Of course I'm butchering minuscule buttons. I don't even bother removing all the skin. I just uncover the breast and rip it out. My first one I was going to leave whole. Then I saw the toothpick legs and decided it wasn't worth it :gig
Understandable! I haven’t done any buttons yet but I can only imagine....we used to leave the wings etc but figured out that there wasn’t enough meat there
 
Okay...:oops:
Dumb question about to be asked:old.

How is a "white" quail either a "Sexlink" or a "Feather-Sexable"?
Or are these whities just glitches in their parents genes?
I've got several so far, one with the black spot on its head, the others solid.

Might be a good idea to double check invoice that it was a feather-sexable vs standard assortment and maybe ask Zack :confused:
 
Do you think it could be recessive genes from both parents? Or accidentally miss-marked eggs?
I really have no idea....I thought the assortment that was received contained celadon eggs which is not typical of a feather-sexable assortment.....but feather-sexable assortment is new. (i’ve never hatched that particular one)

There were some celadon eggs in all three groups of eggs I received (Pansy, Sexlink & Feather Sexable). The one in the Pansy batch was tossed, it remained clear when I candled. The others have hatched, and they weren't the white chicks. I don't mind having them in there, they add a bit variety.

There are still 7 unhatched in the bator, and several undergoing the fluffing process.
