➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[muddy75]

Why so soon for the roos? I was thinking of keeping the studs for their full lifespans. I can't imagine that their lack of interest is ever an issue.

I have Roos that are over a year old and granted I have way too many atm, but no issues with crowing or fertility!!!!

Yeah, I didn’t clean my shed brooder as planned because my shavings got wet in the rain last week that flooded my shed

I'll clean before I got to bed so ignore the poop here.

I just set 24 button eggs. I sold the last of my chicks today, and the customer started telling everyone in her area about them, so I need more.

@Nabiki following your example, I plucked the last three. Marinated in honey mustard and put on the rotisserie for not quite an hour. Cooked to perfection. Moist and delectable.

I'm going to have to pluck these little gems now. Cheers

I have several eggs pipping now and this one is pipping from the pointed end. That’s not good right?

agree. breach birth. Wait 24-36 hours and help it if needed. Expect it not to make it, though. Something is wrong and that is why it's backards. May turn out fine. Good luck.

My hatch has finished. I think there’s like 42/50 sex links, lots of boys. Like 7/12 or so of the snow angels hatched, but here’s the thing, I had moved everyone into the brinsea when I candled at 9 days, then at lockdown, when I went to put the snowie celadon eggs into the nr-360, so they don’t get mixed up, I saw that I had added sex links to the tray with the snow angels, I even wrote it on the masking tape I stuck to the side of the tray to identify it as the snow angel eggs, buuuuuuut, I didn’t mark the eggs or note where one set ended and the other began.

so like 4-6 of the snow angel eggs were really sex links. I can pretty much spot them, but I’m keeping them separate anyway.

The snowie celadons had a crappy hatch rate. Only like 50%. The 3D printed tray is to blame I think, so next hatch I’ll try the original like I always used before the last few. I think they get angled and don’t turn right, which is why I moved them to the brinsea. Haven’t heard from the friend who is supposed to be creating a new version for me.

The snowie celadon project chicks I got are pretty cute, here they are mixed in with the snow angels:

I bet you can spot the intruders haha.
The four yellows I think will be really cute, 2 look like they’ll be faint gray tuxes and the other 2 of what I’ve started to call dusty rose, it’s like a super light goldish silver, since the parents are Italians over mostly scarlet tuxes, a couple Egyptians and a Rosetta tux, there’s a lot of silver/roux mixes popping up. The two light ones at the bottom of the bowl look gray now, but I’m thinking they’ll grow into a light tan with silvery highlights.

Why do you think the 3D tray is to blame? Just curious, I bought one also.
