➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

40% good better than a zero.

This is better than the NN hatch (3 out of 25 shipped eggs). I'm still surprised that it wound up 2 pullets and 1 cockerel.

1. it is winter and fertility is a question.
2. handling issues (including the refrigerator here)
3. I'm hoping for better than 50% hatch rate of developing eggs, but anything over 3 chicks is langiappe.
4. This is a test. This is only a test. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Fertility shouldn't be an issue.
I think the refrigerator is a big issue.

The auctions for the live birds seem to be going well. I have too much fun hatching and I don't want to think what shipping would be for them.

actually didn’t go well auction site almost got shut down completely due to ban on live animal sales via facebook.....zack got it straightened out but can only auction eggs moving forward.

How many days do you wait until you candle? I set 6 eggs jan 21 and none of them look viable no air sacks or nothing.

Ohmygoodness
When I was changing paper towels out about two hours ago I forgot to put the waterer back in.
It's time to clean again so I just noticed.
Poor things were dying of thirst.

Was he selling chicks or just adult birds?

Ive been using a bright flashlight. I’ve candled/hatched chickens before but never quail.

I read that. I'm glad he can still auction eggs.
