cool beans! i can’t set until i get home but i’m sure they will need a couple hours to warm anyway

They can warm in the bator.




Can't they?

I'm so bored at work. I'd rather be home playing with chicks. They're funny. If I put my hand in the brooder they run away, but the moment I start tapping, they all come running to my fingers.

Yep, they are extremely curious!

Putting cold eggs in the incubator can cause condensation in them. They should be warmed to at least room temperature before putting them in.

anybody on the west coast of the US have a good source of CA quail hatching eggs they can recommend?

Where in CA are you? I wasn't able to find any which is why I started ordering eggs, but I should have my egg handler's license soon. Mine are just starting to produce fertile eggs.

Edit: There is also a thread for Northern California Quail Fanciers, where you can ask.

Back now and catching up. I spent all day driving to and from the Bay Area to try out and buy a new violin. I may have to go out and serenade the chickens now.

Those button quail are adorable. I can't imagine how tiny those eggs must have been.

Ah. I raise coturnix quail.

Make sure to check with your local game department to see if you need a permit for California quail. You probably do.
