➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[ShrekDawg]

I just sent 8 to the freezer.

Nice! Are you going to eat them right away or save them/keep to have on hand? Ha you got any more that need to go soon?

I'll check.

3 has a bit, 2 is nearly white.

Well I offed one pansy male.
I think I have about eight or 10 more males to do.

I think I'm going to be lucky if I have enough pansy females to make a breeder group.

And I'll put one of the pansy males in with my last remaining 3 homegrown females.

Wow that’s gonna be a lot of meat!! That’s great!

Aww I hope you have enough females for a breeder group!!

And that sounds like a good plan!! That should make some cool colors!! What color are your homegrowns?

If you search for button quail color chart, there's a couple of websites that have good pictures. A lot of the color mutations have gender specific colors or patterns, so you can tell gender once adult coloring comes in.

All the sites I could find had been taken down or had broken image links. Which website did you see?

Homegrowns.
Just these 3 left.
The males homegrowns just started to talk today.
I should have probably kept one but I figured I for sure have enough Pansy makes to go around.
Plus by putting a pansy male in with these three I will be mixing up genetics.

They are gorgeous!!

I think that is a good idea putting the pansy males in with them.

This hatch is going rough... we had 12 zip. 4 just quit after zipping. Another 4 hatched and died shortly after. Then there are 4 who have thrived and are happily in the brooder. We still have more eggs to hatch. it was a staggered set so they can hatch until Tuesday, maybe even Wednesday.

homegrown hatching with early eggs can be frustrating as can staggered hatches......I had 7 hatch by Saturday night and then even though more pipped, they seem to have “turned off”. I’m hoping that the remaining pipped eggs hatch today as it’s now going into day 18 for last eggs set. (and it’s been at least 24 hours since i noticed pips)
