If they weren't such angry little ***** they'd get to hang around longer

My bobwhites are growing pretty good. I watched them for quite awhile tonight observing and learning. Even the really small ones seem healthy, eating, and drinking. They were all stuffed and sleeping when I got home from work. All 100+ were spread out and sleeping like babies. But me rustling around woke them all up. And what a funny sight that was. They were taking about 4-5 steps backwards to poop then zooming off! There was pooping and zooming going in every direction. I wish I would have got it on video.

Angry little peckers is what they are. Literally and figuratively.

I am very surprised that my 3, now two months old, boy are getting along just fine.
There was a day or two that I thought all hell was going to break loose with them but they are doing great in the cage together.

Carry your phone with you next time you go to check on them.

I have had great success with 2-3 brothers raised together! Not so much anyone else.

And I think I'm about to have somewhere on the order of 20 spare boys Unfortunately I think processing has to be done at 6 weeks this batch maximum. I do like that extra 2 weeks to put on some extra fat.

Woah I just not realized it is probably time to butcher these three.
Oh my, I have not been paying attention to how old they are.

Ever since I ate my first couple I am like "hmm...do I really like you all that much?" Honey-mustard has become the new standard by which I judge

Can't you squeeze them all in somehow?
I too think waiting 7 days is a bit tooooooo long to wait.

i’m going to try to figure something out by Monday....I recandled my 8 iffy eggs today decreased that # to 5 iffy. only 3 appear non-fertile and 2 still developing but have cracks in shell near the air cell that i hadn’t noticed at set, so i’m not sure they will make it. I’m truly amazed by only 3 out of 60 non-fertile!! candled the buttons too and at 3 days looks like only 6 of 12 fertile. day 9/10 candling is Sunday so hopefully I can make a clear decision on the few and get all in the big bator, I’m pretty sure I can squeeze the pearls in with the buttons and get them started! The buttons go over to lockdown on hatch day.
