➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[BullChick]

I stick the quail eggs in the chicken racks. Limits me to 42 (may not be a bad thing). They sit in the bottom but clear the bottom of the incubator. Holds them securely. How many quail are you hatching? 120 seems like a lot to me. So for this year, I'm learning.

I don’t think more than 300 at a time.

Seriously, I think 20-ish.

save your money on the quail racks. IMHO. 300, OTOH, definitely get the quail racks. Just remember to build the cages first.

That isn’t how math works! First babies, then cages and coops!

How soon are the eggs typically fertile?

Haha I’ve done this... “I’ll just get the coops/cages while the chicks are tiny!”

Lolololol I got babies right now that don’t have a coop/cage - they will but I don’t have it *yet* I’m one of those cross that bridge when I get to it in a couple weeks....... in the meantime enjoy your brooder kids, you won’t be tiny forever! Darn sometimes I wish they would stay that small... sigh.

Careful what you wish for...

Wife wanted babies. Then she wanted sleep. The 2 are mutually exclusive. Get a dog. They stay small and love you always. I prefer chickens.

I prefer babies. I’ve never minded the up and down for feedings, and bad dreams.
