➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

I better not have all boys.
They are 11 days old.View attachment 3567412View attachment 3567413View attachment 3567414

I am usually sure of sex by 3 weeks of age.
I think I can spot the boys even earlier this time.

Lol I think I might on my celadon hatch but only time will tell. I have a 1 day old that is crowing so that’s easy lol.

UPDATE:

Still some strange things going on with my TR pen, eggs getting move clear across the pen, weird arrangement of the eggs, sometimes the hen is sitting on the eggs other times she is not...I actually saw her moving the eggs from one side of the pen to the other side!!!
Then yesterday, I see this when I'm out in their pen.

Went back out to the pen after dark and she was sitting in the middle of the egg circle!!!!

Houston we have a problem.
I was just sure all of the eggs I set the other day were goners with my incubator issues.

I just moved them all to my new incubator.
I then removed 2 that I am 100% sure quit.

I don't think any of the eggs look very good but I'm going to leave them just to see what happens.

I'll be adding 25ish new eggs this evening which will put me at @Nabiki level....with over 50 eggs.

2 batches
2nd will be set in a few hours.

Friendly reminder.
Do not use 1/4" hardware cloth for the floor of a quail cage.

These babies of mine are mad because their cage is filthy. I knew I was making a mistake of adding 1/4" hardware cloth to the floor when I was installing it.
I'll be ripping in out this weekend. The holes are just too small for poop to fall through.

I would use it but the only problem is I’m an apple user and don’t have space on my laptop for it.

Get a new laptop!

Not exactly necessary

Over the last couple of years I've modified HatchKeeper to be able to run in most modern browsers both mobile and desktop. I've got a demo on the website. There is a user that uses that on his iPhone. He just adds a shortcut to his home screen and sets the HatchKeeper icon. There's some limitations such as no notifications, needs internet connection, data is stored in the browser, etc but just make sure you routinely back up the database via settings so you can restore just in case.

If you don't have a good internet connection, it's possible to download the source code and run it in a browser locally without installing.

Thanks @mill-j I still think they need a new laptop if it's full.
