➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

Is it wrong that I’m overwhelmed by all of the quail varieties?

No. I still haven't figured them all out.

Can I just call all of my quail “that one,” “that one,” and “that one there”?

No. We will need to know who is who.

I moved some of the 19 into the empty cage.
They are now separated as follows.
Cage 1: 4 females/2 males
Cage 2: 5 females/2 males
Cage 3: 2 females/4 males

I think I have them sexed right.
One male is getting bossy already.
I have a feeling I will not be able to wait for them to get to full size before I butcher some.

As to the poll, using one incubator, I'm limited to setting 14 possible batches & egg supply. 50 would be 4 incubators.

You changed the poll, 20 sets would be 2 incubators.

Are you trying to encourage me???

not even close! i’m hoping to get some better pics soon for help!! pretty sure the biggest one (pansy) is a boy. has been pretty noisy from the start. the little falb fee and the autumn amber are the friendliest. i’m even starting to question number of girls in my 3 month olds now. (and as wild type they should be easy!!)
