➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[007Sean]

Please break my incubator if I start driving across state lines for eggs.

One day it will happen...just had to be the right bird(s) you absolutely got to have!
But give me a heads up and I'll take the bator off your hands.

My birds won't start laying fertile eggs until late April, early May. The first week they start laying, half won't be fertile. Usually by 2 weeks from starting, they will all be fertile.

so i need to find a mid-may early june fishing/hog-hunting/pheasant egg pick-up vacay trip?? any chance you are within easy driving distance of waelder???

It missed the painting department.
I got one like this when they first started laying too.

Blue eggs are rare. People pay some real money for a quail that lays blue eggs. I believe it is a recessive gene, so both a hen and cock have to carry the gene to produce offspring that lay blue eggs. Identify which quail laid that egg and stay breeding her with different males 1 at a time and hatch eggs each time. If any of the hatched quail lay blue eggs, the father carries the blue gene. Once you have a cock and hen with the blue gene you have a chance of hatching more blue egg layers. I believe the odds are 25% once you have a recessive gene containing pair. That may increase to 50% if the hen actually is double recessive (layers blue eggs).

I tried writing on my eggs with pencil.
Anyone notice how some have a shiny clear coat and some don't?
The shiny ones are hard to write on.

Blue eggs are rare. People pay some real money for a quail that lays blue eggs. I believe it is a recessive gene, so both a herb and chick have to carry the gene to produce offspring that lay blue eggs. Identify which quail laid that egg and stay breeding her with different males 1 at a time and hatch eggs each time. I'd admit of the young lady blue eggs, the father carries the blue gene. Once you have a cock and hen with the blue gene you have a chance of hatching more blue egg layers. I believe the odds are 25% once you have a recessive gene containing pair. That may increase to 50% if the herb actually is double recessive (layers blue eggs).

What the heck is a herb? Are you talking weird to your phone? Do you have a funny accent?


I only have one male.
