➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Baby bunny pictures. They are getting chuncky. Mama Pepper is taking good care of them. They kind of look like baby hippos now, right? I think their fur is starting to come in.

Yea, it's a cute idea but would you use it?

Sorry, I'm purging my house right now and I'm talking you like I talk to me

I've been cleaning like this too lately.
Who needs 20 wine glasses especially when I don't drink wine.

A. 6months to 5 years under ideal conditions for wild quail.
B. Yes
C. Yes, radiation isn't good for ya, besides makes you go blind!

I thought quail were only supposed to live for 6-8 WEEKS.

 

[Kiki]

Not bad at all. You can also stair into the microwave. You should try breathing from the exhaust of your car too. It does wonders for people.

 

[Kiki]

Sorry... I couldn't resist.
Your first two questions were very helpful for me though. I didn't know about the drop off in fertility. I have to rethink how often I'll need to bring in new birds to continue breeding without inbreeding and shrinking my genetic pool. Ugh! This breeding business is a real pain.

You can do like me...keep putting off thinking about the breeding business.
I keep meaning to sit down and think things through but get side tracked.

Square eyes yo.. that's the real worry!!!

Gee this thread gets derailed often cracks me up!!!

100quailes is the happy number for you guys? wow!!!
I think 10 is my happy number!! I feel like they have enough "space" in their various little quail digs, and I can tell them all apart!!

What day do y'all candle your eggs? I haven't bothered the last few hatches, because I am lazy.

Everyday silly.
Must candle daily.

 

[Kiki]

Hatchabatch (which is finally up and running again ) says to candle on day nine. I suppose because they are difficult to see in, and by then you can detect a big enough change.

I highly recommend a good flat camera phone light for seeing into a quail egg.

 

[Kiki]

Be careful what you say. It will be used against you.

Define derailed. I don't think that word means what you think it means.

I candled at lock down and pulled the clears, so day 15 and then again at day 30. Much easier to candle once the shells are emptied. I highly recommend it.

No.
Just no.


Have you candled the new eggs yet?
What day are you on now?
My last few days have run together and I'm lost.

Bunnies are still good. Picture from last night. Still look like hairless rats. They sure are wiggly.
