➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[BReeder!]

I will!



We* will!

Also my hens are finally picking back up got 8 eggs insteada 4 yesterday.

I think im gonna alter up my hatch schedule though and do chicken eggs today so theyll hatch about a wk after the quail i have set and then a wk from today add more quail. Ive got abuncha sex link eggs and BLRW and people are really still looking for chicks this late in the season. Plus hatch day would line up w the next big swap. Then a wk later would make quail hatchlings line up for just after the swap.

I am jealous. Mine are still only laying 4 or 5 per day.

I have one hen just floating that I've repeatedly t

I dont think you know that this is all we got of that

The first 5 I was OK with. I always expect some losses. Afterall, I have a cheap foam incubator and take the approach of not adjusting hatches (unless it's something minor like removing some shell or dried membrane from an otherwise perfectly good hatchling). This 6th loss was absolutely my fault though, which is why it was harder to accept.

I understand and im sorry, so sad

I think it’s all a great idea.

Me too altho thats some high dollar protien maybe boil them down and use the stock and the kibble could absorb it and make it go furthure.

Im sure we will reverse rolls in three months when yours will pick up aheada mine in your toasty garage while mine go lame while the days are short.

Yes it definitely is! But then again I’m sure they probably feel the same way about us Fahrenheit people! Haha they’re probably like “OMG thats insanely hot! They must be melting!”

Celsius is by far the more logical system.

Id buy it and make the buggers pay it back.



I much prefer this to the Feet of snow they get up north.



Sorry about the losses for over 30 hatchlings!

Snow's not the bad part, it's the spring that sucks. Mud, everywhere.

Hmmm that’s true. Probably expensive if you’re raising them yourself... guess it really wouldn’t be cheaper if you’re paying for the quail food too. Boiling them down and making stock is a good idea. The bone broth is good for their joints too especially for bigger dogs. Good for people too actually! Haha

I mean, technically everywhere in the world uses it except us and like two other places haha

But I’m so used to Fahrenheit now Celsius just looks weird.

True!! The mud sucks!!! And the SMELL too from all the snow trapped poo and stuff unfreezing/thawing and melting.

Well im sorry sir. I still love them so much i would have to do it for the meat and eggs. Im glad im able to make them pay for themselves without all those hoops to jump through. Would you also need to have permits for selling eggs and or meat?

No, Wyoming recently passed a law that allows people to sell home raised products without inspections or permits. People were already doing it, they just made it legal.

Since there is only one of me here and I already have chickens, guineas and turkeys, I really don't need quail for the meat or the eggs. I rarely eat eggs anyway so when I am not hatching many, many eggs get given away.

The other problem here is because the G&F is in charge of game birds, there are very few places that are willing to have all the required tests done in order to legally ship hatching eggs or live birds into the state. Their requirements are much more thorough than NPIP.

Fahrenheit is the more accurate system. The degrees are smaller. It takes 9 Fahrenheit degrees to equal 5 Celsius degrees.

 

[R2elk]

So few people.

Yes and it is wonderful!!!

 

[R2elk]

I've been thinking about quail dog food.

Yeah, you found out how well your dogs liked them.

Ewwww...I would never feed my dogs the stuff even I won't eat.

Why not? You know they will eat it and they already drink stuff that you wouldn't drink.

No thank you...I'm not there yet.

You may never get there.

Indeed I did not.

I don't even know where I was going with that.
