my little “froggie” seems to be getting stronger! can walk with hips straight now on the grippy surface......toes still curled so maybe try the tape booties tomorrow and see how he does. but at least he’s active and eating and drinking! of course I’m already thinking of my next hatch......trying to decide time frame and whether to go tuxedo assortment or sex link. will definitely use what I’ve learned from last couple hatches moving forward!!

How many can you house?

Going into lockdown!
As a reminder, eggs should be hatching Wednesday night.

I candled the eggs just a bit ago prepping for lockdown. There were 102 eggs off the original 104 - 1 broke when removing it from the packaging and 1 had a bad cracked shell from the egg turner. 62 (if I'm remembering my count correctly) passed the candling and made it to lockdown.

Here's some pics of my candling. I DIY'd a candler with a bright LED flashlight, duct tape and a sandpaper pad (provided a perfect sized hole). I couldn't get pics in the dark because the camera on my phone would go out of focus.

Y'all are all so lucky, my pheasants and quail only lay in the spring. But right now, If I hatched any I couldn't take care of them anyway.
