➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

So, it'd be better if only 1 yolk is fertile then?

I need more quail rails then!
Those aren't cheap either, dadgumit!

Will my rails fit in your turner?
I have an extra one piece.

The one I cracked open...only one of the yolks was fertilized and it wasn't quite two yolks. They were joined together..
I am hoping to be able to tell, when candling, if I can see two yolks in this one I set.
I'm just doing it to learn.
I want to see what I can see inside it.

Makes sense. Good plan!

Gotcha!

But all bantams are probably bad for meat, right

not necessarily.....with silkies having black skin and bones and even getting around that, the breast was ok, but there was a kinda displeasing texture to the leg/thigh meat....(i think we butchered 4 total smoked and fried preparation)

Nope, ever eat a game hen...pretty tasty!

So the game roosters would taste good too, right?

So just like standard chickens then. Now I'll have to tell my husband they're edible. I was looking at OEGB's

In all the years of raising/hatching birds, I have never had a "double yolker"....I must not be living right!

GQF turners are made a little different from Little Giant turners...if I remember right I don't believe they are interchangeable?

Never had one laid or never hatched one?
