➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[007Sean]

Lol wait til i show u how theyre growing out next wk some of them are undergoing metamorphosis. As chicks the head markings on my 5 red were 2 types and im monitoring that. Plus im positive i have one of the Tibetans with two copies like youve explained so dark u can hardly see a pattern. Ive wondered about that thing your calling dilute pharoah. I have two not pictured that are silver backed with white wings and white bellies? Its a lighter silver color than my other though... some weird things going on man



you said ud won some silver phesants eggs i was expecting to see those or what they will look like. Now that u teased u gotta share that

Ok here's some real 'eye candy', Silver Golden males.

this is grau fee, pearl, pansy batch.....20-25 eggs each made it to lockdown with 5 pansy under broodies with a few homegrowns. 62 in bator.
next 2 weeks are broody homegrowns

Take lots of pics of the grau-fee! I want to figure out if they are the same thing I have been calling 'laced charcoal.'

Those are STUNNING.


Look at the difference in the fat on these birds! All roos from the same february hatch. The one on the far right is a full brother to @Sara L's and was so round he was comical. Probably 3x as much meat as the little guy.

It has been so nice out I have had birds in the tractors all day every day! Since they're stationary at the moment while my pasture grows in I gave them a little extra shade and hawk sight protection with my maples.



Laced charcoal male I am taking pics of to sell. Someone pecked his eyelid months ago and now he looks worried 100% of the time. He is cute. And loud.

The babies are a week old. I have a little one flitting about like crazy. I have seen it hop over the others several times. Very funny.

I will watch the chicken chickies body surf across the others. Come running across the coop, do a flying leap right into the crowd.

The one this morning was up on the log and ran across the back of 2 others before falling into maelstrom. Seems the second one did not want to get walked upon.

Just another short week before the tractor and more room. Hang in there.
