➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

She's extremely emotionally attached and invested in anything that breathes. Except gophers and moles. I once broke a field mouse's leg trying to pick it up with a shovel and she tried to bring it into our house to save it. Way too much for me.

This makes me giggle.

The crustiness might also go away when they groom themselves, so basically when their feathers start growing in.

Some have it on their backs between the wings. I might try warm bath.
Btw. Auburn on 49 is terrrrrible. It's like roseville with crazy suicide lanes

I wonder... could one give a baby quailie a blow-dry? Or would the poor little thing have a coronary?

Well, if they do I want a video.

In my experience, birds in general like blow dryers. Not sure about chicks in particular. Careful not to burn it.

I have been known to use blow dryer to warm quail chicks!! when really little was a last ditch effort to see if extra warmth would revive them but several @3ish weeks that were almost dead from flooding in aviary this spring!! I think we rescued 8/12 that were minutes from death!!

I moved #36 to the brooder, called the hatch, cleaned the incubator, and moved this weekend’s hatch to lockdown! (22 homegrown eggs). 2 of my noisy babies had to be transferred to the shed with the buttons and older chicks under threat of having their heads pinched! All is peaceful in the living room now.... will hopefully have August hatch total early next week! but so far is 40 C + this weekend and 4 buttons

Yeah, I am not fond of driving 49. Everyone drives too fast, and the deer love to jump in front of cars. About 2 years back, maybe three now, I hit a deer on 49. It was not fun.
