When did they get so big!?

When did they get so big!?

Good question. I blinked, and they tripled in size.

My dummies.

I can tell them apart now!

My babies almost look like real quail now.

I'm going to off the few females that have color first.
Then the males with the most color.
I'll clean out some cages and keep 3 sets of the Pansy Fees.

Woot.
I think I have two Grau fee females.

14 in the brooder.
I helped 4 that were shrink wrapped. Not happy with that. 2 have the feet issues.
Last 3 eggs aren't showing life and I'm afraid the shrink wrap got 2. The third pipped early and hasn't moved since. Little beak sitting at the hole. So sad.

24 hours is complete. see if the feet straighten on these 2. Need to inspect the other 2 after they dry for a couple more hours.

@Kiki when you say off the ones with color, you are keeping only black & whites?

Yes, I think I want only the ALL black n white.
You want the others?

Eat them. I've got this hatch and have collected 20 more for QB#13. I'm out of coops until these grow out and are in the freezer. thanks for asking, but bon appetit.

If you get another monster, I'll consider it.
