Oh and CC found someone who has bred all expressing (supposedly) recessive ce traits in Reno too...that guy has ce chicks but they are also expensive

You made me go sit and watch my newest babies.

I just noticed one that's on the runty side. I did not notice the size difference the other day.

The dummy was outside of a dirt box... The feed is inside of the dirt box.
I'm thinking the dirt box wall was too high for this one dummy to jump into.

I just fixed that issue but when I moved it close to the food... It ate non stop.

Poor thing.
I bet if I hadn't just noticed this then it would have died soon.


I ripped some spots in the box sides and made sure it could hop in.

I think I need to borrow Kiki's title! I'm so proud of you, the good little quail-math student that you are.

Remember though that my hatches have been terrible all year, it might not be the fault of the eggs if they don't hatch.

where did @BantyChooks get hers?? i’ve always had good luck with PP.....they guarantee 70% fertility (of course that can be difficult to see in button eggs) I wanted to order from them before, but were not available at that time. The ebay purchase came out of Virginia and while I have no doubt that he has good stock, they were packaged in a carton wrapped in paper and not marked appropriately so I think “rough shipping” and sitting in office mailbox for day or 2 was what caused poor hatch.....losing 2 of my 3 was my fault.....didn’t realize how easily they can escape!!
