➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

Congrats to those with babies pipping!!

@Shortchick
I don't get great fertility rates unless my birds are in trios maximum, because as someone said, they play favorites! That said, unless you're hatching *constantly* or working with a ton of genes like I am it's not really worth the trade-off of stressed hens. I would just expect to set ~2x as many eggs as you want to hatch and keep doing what you're doing.


My "little" babies. A few are due to move into big crate, methinks.

'More white than others' Italian is in lower left, and two of my homebred charcoals (same age as as others! Twice as big as most others, consistent trend ) are in lower right.

Your tape cracks me up.

Tape thing getting tossed in days. Too lazy.

They do not mess around.
You can't even go pee while they are zipping...you will miss it.
