➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Pennys Mama]

Test it for a week. I put quail eggs in the chicken slots. Turns out I don't need to hatch more than 40 quail eggs at a time because 20 chicks poop a lot. Need to modify my brooder plans.

That's what I was thinking, do I put my oldest quail eggs in it, I was just gonna steam them to eat since I didn't have room for all in my GQF?

I'd do a bantam rooster. They're quieter, smaller, more gentle, and easier on the girls.

Mine starts crowing at 0400, sometimes earlier.....

But he's super sweet on the ladies, and eyes are always to the skies.

It won't hurt them at all and it isn't even necessary to turn them during their last week.

That sounds even better!!!!

What breed or breeds of bantam do you have

OMG

I hope I don’t get one like that.

The latter parts sound good though haha

Well see, I have to remove my 9 chicken & 8 guinea eggs from my large GQF & put them over into my GoodMother for the last week of their time, too many to use its little turner....
I have 60 eggs coming that I have to put in the GQF, plus 60 of my own.....
I just hope it won't hurt them to go from being pointy tip down this whole time to side laying for the last week?

Shouldn't be a problem.
