➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

This is the biggest one. It's like a mint green color with brown speckles. I think it looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream. All the others were .05

I don't know what they should weigh all I know is they're supposedly snowy, pearl, tuxedo, and something else. I got one mint green color one and the rest are cream or white with speckles.

Why would they be so big?

Why would they be so big?

Selective breeding....ie; if you breed hens that lay large eggs, usually their offspring will lay large eggs but not always....some breeders breed for size of the birds others for size of eggs, some breed for both...after several generations of doing this, the results will be larger eggs or heavier bird weights. Also, environment plays a part.

I'll be excited to see what hatches. They're slightly smaller than my bantam eggs, but not by much I don't think.

Have you hatched out at 75% humidity before?

I love your notes.

That is the temp - after being open for a whole candling session. The humidity is the bottom number. Inside the incubator it has been running around 25-30% after a +5 calibration adjustment.
