➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[muddy75]

Ack sorry I've been getting ready for camping and missed a bunch but congratulations to everyone with active hatches!

@mixedUPturk I'm excited to see what you get! There were definitely a couple chicks in there that are going to be really unusual.

@muddy75 your dog is a serious character, you need to find a way to bottle and sell that charisma

and @KDOGG331 you totally didn't! I just get asked for hatchery recommendations a lot on here and since I haven't personally ordered from anyone in the "Big 5" but throw out a lot of recommendations for them it's important for me to understand the various pros and cons of each through anecdote. JMF will not stop being the person I usually recommend first; I totally get this was a one-off because of the customer and I appreciate everyone's opinions.

Yes she is truly a “handful” hahaha! She actually got ahold of one of my adult quail escapees a couple days ago! Luckily unlike my “hunting dogs” she wasn’t able to do any damage to it!

OMG!!! i collected 2 eggs this am....son collected 16 eggs at egg-thirty and i just found 2 more tonight!! guessing with my current 50+% fertility rate, I no longer need shipped eggs and could actually start “selling” some!!! i’m waiting for cartons to come in and already have at least 3 dozen or more surplus!

You have a lot of good dummies at your house.

Do you happen to have a kitchen scale you could weigh a couple of chicks on?

I am very curious how much they weigh at hatch.

Please say yes.

You bet. Give me some time to gather data and I’ll let you know.

I can't wait.
Just two or three will be enough.

fingers crossed that “Hodor the quicken” turns out to be a girl so I can keep the dummie!
