So far he is my biggest but is this even big?

6 ounces is a good size. Figure almost 10 ounces live weight? I'm eating everything less than 10 ounces at 10 weeks. The largest males are in the 10 + ounce range.

@Kiki 2020 Quail Hatch Report; 11 in, 2 infertile: out of 9 fertile Jumbo Whites from Ebay, 8 live hatchlings and 1 was an early quitter. I opened the egg and it had a small embryo, the quail eggs can be so hard to see in sometimes.

We didn't even do live weights this time.

OMGosh! I went out to the quail pen and my Wild Type Jumbos had laid 3 eggs! My first quail eggs and my birds are only 40 days old! 5.7 weeks!

QB#12
21 eggs set
18 hatched including 3 assists = 2 bad feet and 1 wry neck.
3 didn't hatch =
1 never pipped and late quitter.
1 pipped and died.
1 pipped and we opened, had intestines coming out so helped.
Vitamins in the water. Brooder nice and toasty.

Collecting for QB#13 and the hens are only laying 2 eggs a day again. Should have around 30, so we are good.

After set 1 lays and we collect, planning on sending them to the freezer. The hatchlings will be set 1 replacements for layers. They are about a year old. Aggravating that I'm not getting all 4 hens laying the replacements. Getting a few.

Then when Set 3 starts laying, will collect and set for a rooster for Set1. So exciting.
