➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

I'd like to try them pickled with beets. Do you have a recipe?

Boil the beets until fork tender, wipe off skins and cut to size or just use canned beets.

Heat to boiling, equal amounts of water, vinegar and sugar (1 cup, 1 cup, 1 cup) as needed. Add beets and hard boiled eggs (peeled) to quart canning jar, pour pickling juice to within 3/4" of jar top. Seal with lid and ring and put in refrigerator for at least 24 hours. In my opinion, 3 days is better but I often start eating them after one day.

The incubator is on!!!!


I'm going to run it empty tonight and set the eggs tomorrow morning.

I officially have at least 6 layers now.

Yesterday's 6 eggs plus today's.

Next time you could write a number on each egg with a pencil or permanent marker to help keep track of the better.

I might over do my keeping track of stuff.

You sound like me. I letter mine, I also draw a short vertical line (air cell to pointy end direction) which indicates “up” to me. I write down the time when each egg pips, and when it hatches.

so sad right now.....when i moved my chicks, the waterer that was in there just had a little bit of water and they seemed to be doing fine with it while we were outside but when i went out tonight, one of them had drown. replaced it immediately with a flat dish. it was the little one with curled feet.

Sorry to hear that. It's not your fault. Some just don't make it.

I'm sorry.

Can you find some larger rocks in the yard or marbles to put in the water dish to help block them from falling in it?

Started at 8:30 am.


I added two that were laid this morning so a total of 14 eggs have been set.

Day 0 or Day 1?

I can't remember but I think I started counting last time as day one.
