➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Okay, a more accurate total is 412, not counting a few non-official sets and eggs transferred to broodies. Still, Kiki, you're insane.

Her balut eggs she got by accident.

Wait I thought she got those on purpose!? Didn’t she go ask the guy if he had any!? Or was that after?? I forget

How did I miss counting them? I haven't written them up in my finished yearly reports yet; they're in my notebook only.

no, silly! How did you hatch so many!!

I need to hatch again!!

Her first set was by accident. After those got fried by her makeshift incubator, she tried again. Right, Kiki? You didn't have the styro bator back then?

That's total set, not total hatched. I didn't hatch anything but shipped eggs for years, and either my post office hates me or I don't have Kiki's magic touch, because I only average about 50% of fertile eggs on those. Well, I average higher for quail, I guess; chicken eggs take shipping harder. And then, when I did switch to my own eggs, I had terrible fertility problems. That's also spread over a period of over four years. It's not one season.

touché! But she’s gonna hatch even more now!! If it’s possible to be even more of a hatching addict, that will be Kiki now! And a quail hoarder

Hoarder requires an intervention. You're allowed to hatch as many as you want as long as you sell or eat the extras.

I should find the posts where she first realized they were balut. She was panicking.

Oh no! That’s terrible!! Hopefully it’s better now??

No, last year was awful. Less than 50% of the eggs I set were fertile. It's a long road up with the breeding stock I have. I'll get there eventually.

I think I vaguely remember that one! I read through the first like 100 pages last year one night haha
