➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[BantyChooks]

Im tryn to get outa here and running late but ill check in when i get settled over there.

50% is par for course not bad and 9 when u ordered a dozen is stellar! Sorry about your toes chick but i think you did good

I'm quite happy, especially since hatch rates have sucked all year. Last year I averaged 96%. This year, I'm averaging something insane like 35%, and not on shipped eggs either. I'm suspecting it's my lockdown incubator, which had been in storage for a while and was just pulled out this spring. I need to look into the heating mechanism to see if it could be malfunctioning the way I suspect it is.

Will you show a photo of a button quail on a penny?

If you look back quite a few posts, you'll find the pics I posted of a button surrounded by a hobo nickle, dime and a penny.

Oh nevermind, I tryed going back, couldn't find the pics, so here's some pics of mine. I think @mixedUPturk , has a pic of a chick standing on a penny?

Home from the swap early as i started to fear heat strokes. Everyone was super interested in the quail. One guy had jus bought a slew of buttons from a guy who was selling them all off and he thought he was the only one in the area w the buttons. Only sold 3 birds but i sold All the eggs i brought w me and made 10$ just on them.

Mr Sean i had taken pics of a button on a quarter and in a milk jug lid but not a penny

You are my new best friend. I prefer thyssenkrupp parts, though.

One of the older Buttons has a less severe curl to a few of the toes as well. The badly curved one is the assisted chick. I am thinking of leaving #1 alone because he can still walk and I really don't feel like bandaging up two chicks.

i understand. Ive had cots who walk on their feet like Cs when i left em alone (im already too crazy to be tryn to put shoes on ants.) so i would recommend putn em down if they dont straighten out or be prepared for keeping handicapped things.

You know since the buttons wont be processed im not tryn as hard to get em round the bend (like the splay i gave up on pretty early) to the first proccessing at least. Will you be eating any of em that dont pair off?
