➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Wow, okay cool


I hear a baby from my bed, hoping more have pipped and started zipping too

Me too. I love seeing pics of them. I’m waiting for mine to start mating so I can hatch again.

This is true.
A german Youtuber had a six year old roo. But it was really an old Grandpa, ..
nearly blind, def, limping and only moving between water disperser and feeder .... veeery slow.

Meet number 12

My breeder says about 2 years, but they replace roos every 6 months and hens every year

I'm already empty nesting. I'm not done hatching and I want more eggs to incubate. I have my eye on some Pheonix eggs now

How old so they need to be before you can start guessing colors?

I think at that point I would do a mercy kill. I know that probably “mean” but it’s outlived it’s time.

Once they’re feathered. Like 3 weeks.

I agree. I have a rabbit that had a stroke. He's blind and deaf but still seeming to enjoy life at some bit. I'm keeping him until August but I know he won't make it through winter so I'm putting him down then


Okay cool. I have all sorts of little patterns including one with yellow/white and a colored back and back of head.

Just hoping they're not all the same color as adults

The rooster can't follow his instincts anymore. The thing about pets is, you have it in your hand to humanly end it before it starts suffering.
