➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[CovidtimeQuail]

Because I was curious, I summed up the tables by hatching egg source.

Data are only for lines where hatch rates are known and completed. Sorted by the number of eggs set, most of the eggs were homegrown, followed by Myshire and Unknown. The overall hatch rate for fertile eggs was 87 percent and the percent of eggs that were fertile was 73%.

So, I guess that means this is a pretty high bar to set for 2021. Best of luck everyone, and keep on hatching!

The days are still pretty short up in Sonoma. How many adult hens do you have? (Asking for myself -- days are pretty uniform in Hawaii and they're finally starting to slow down with 12 hours light.)

I have 27 hens.

I have 27 hens.

So, a pretty amazing number of eggs for this time of year. That makes me feel better about letting the hens do what the hens do -- even if it means they pop out an egg daily.

I'm watching the live auctions go for more than they should again.

What do you think would happen if, say, I were to comment and tell everyone they're stupid and they could just buy the eggs for less on the website?

Lol.

Lol.

Some wouldn’t care. They’d be winners!

I mean, I don't consider paying double what you could have if you were paying any kind of attention winning, haha.

I always have the website open at the same time as FB if I'm watching the auctions. That way I know when to stop. I usually have a top bid in mind as well, so when it goes over that, I stop.

Yep that's what I've been doing. Haven't bid one time because everyone wants to pay more than the eggs sell for, apparently, lol.

The eggs I accidentally set to hatch on my birthday (today) are working on hatching I forgot to mark varieties on them, lol, but I'm hoping for Pearl Fee.
