➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[CovidtimeQuail]

I had a mini freakout moment when I saw a bloodied neck on the 2-week old Italian. He didn't seem to be picked on though, and was carrying on as though everything was fine.

Let's try that from another angle. . .

Little rascal happened to have a perfectly placed crown of red feathers on its neck!

Here are pictures of the others. I ended up with a good amount of silvers, yay!

You know that feeling when you do something you know you'll regret?

I separated the male from 3 females, put their eggs (7 at last count) in a pile and let the high-strung hen sit on them. Let's see if she's still sitting tomorrow morning.

I moved another 14 to the shed brooder this morning for a total of 30. 17 still in the living room brooder. So in total 51 hatched 2 cull and 2 early brooder deaths.

Got my first egg today from the June hatch!! And it's big for a first egg too, just under 14g. They'll be 6 weeks old on Saturday.

Good Luck!

Well, that lasted less than eight hours. That hen is hot and cold. Sometimes she wants to try brooding, only to have her eggs taken away. Now we know why. I came out this morning and she was wandering around, completely oblivious to the eggs she so carefully guarded just last night.

the first one was a need to cull and then i took the most bald and shabby looking. i should’ve taken more males, but they tend to get really quiet and stealthy when they know their head is on the line!!!
