➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Ebony Rose]

I have 10 quail in one breeding cage; only getting 8 (sometimes 9) eggs daily. Haven't heard ANY crowing all week and hoping that I didn't eat the last roo of the batch. **rolls eyes** I'll know for sure when I set these eggs next week.

I should have new roos in 2-4 weeks depending on how they mature, currently this juvenile batch is about 4 weeks old. They're a mix of italians, ranger & pharoahs. I'm looking to get my mixed colored flock into all pharoahs so that I can more easily differentiate between the sexes. Still having difficulty vent sexing... I'll learn with time.

So cool, Kiki! I love seeing the little live thing moving inside the egg! It’s awe-inspiring to me.

I'm already planning my next experiment.
As soon as this hatch is done I am maxing out my bator with only fridge eggs that have been sitting in there for weeks.
Maybe even a month plus by the time this hatch is done.

What about the shoe box?

What about the shoe box?

I'll put tomorrow's eggs in a box. Thanks for reminding me.

I think it's plenty hot enough now.

Yay! No problem

Whats the plan in the shade or sun? Just an average shoebox or an amazon box or??
Whatll be in the bottom? Any added insulation for stabilizing temp?
