➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

Unfortunately, the prettiest birds of this hatch wound up male, including the lone pansy. Upside is that the new girls (all 10 of them) get along great with existing hens and almost all of them are laying. I'm filling about two of these bowls a week—need to find more ways to use eggs up.

Also getting a single, noticeably blue-ish egg a day. I've yet to identify the hen laying it. Is this one of the "Celadon" eggs I've been hearing about?

Yes it is one of those magically cute eggs!

I think the true homozygous celadon that produce celadon offspring have no spots but the heterzygous are still blue will show spots and just wont produced celadon offspring.

Cool to know! I'm curious which bird is laying them.

You could put a spot of food color on the inside edge of one hens vent every two or three days to see who lays what egg.

I added 17 more eggs to the 24 we'r set on Sunday.
They are 3 days apart. I figure rotating the eggs is less important later in development so I could still turn off the rotator on day 15 or 16 for the initial batch of 24 (day 12 or 13 for the additional 17). I am a bit worried about raising the humidity too early fir these new eggs or too late for the old ones... I think I am just going to raise it on day 16 for the originals (day 13 for the additionals).

Don't worry about raising it until you see an actual pip and then I find that just raising it a little works great.
It doesn't need to be 60+ in there.
