Are Bobwhites as nutty as buttons?

Are Bobwhites as nutty as buttons?

Nope, nowhere near it...even if they are raised for release.

I got rid of 7 of my 2year olds today. Picked them right up like nothing was happening to them at all!

Buttons?

I can't imagine my nutters ever calming down enough to touch without having to chase them around for ever.

The only thing I know of crazier than buttons, are Bianchi pheasants....they are absolutely bat poop crazy!

Nope, Bob's

Are you prepared for nutballs?
I forget...have you had them before?

Nope. First time.

I forgot to come back with the pics.

Been looking at these pics again, it appears that the egg took 3 hits? You can see 2 very distinct circle impact cracks!
I wonder if this could have been caused by two eggs in the reproductive tract hitting against eachother? You might get another egg like that one! ?

Hatch lock-down this morning.
Huminity set on 65% and temp on 37.5°C for 94 eggs ready to hatch at around tuesday.
From 113 eggs (110 incubated / 3 cracks)

Total statistics:
36 eggs from a small german breeder - no cracks, 1 not fertilized, 4 stopped, 31 in brooder (11 Pharaoh, 8 Italians and 12 Falbfees)

48 eggs from a big german breeder - 3 cracks, 4 not fertilized, 6 stopped, 35 in brooder (color mix)

29 eggs from my breed - no cracks, 1 not fertilized, no stopped, 28 in brooder (1 Pharaoh roo, 1 Pharaoh hen, 2 Roux Dilute hens - 1.3 mix)

Now I'm tied to brooder like an expecting father

What's left of my current hatch. Three more are probably going away this week because they're not going to need heat in this weather.
