➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

Why carry two things when one works? I'm already carrying three devices for PoGo, sometimes four if I'm playing WU (Harry Potter Wizards Unite) too.

I usually get an HTC. They're made for the music junkie like I am. The Samsung are more for the photo enthusiast.

Edit: Also, I won't touch iTunes with a 100 mile pole. No iThings for me, please.

You crack me up.
I've never tried this Pokemon stuff.

Tomorrow I have a mostly real day off. Have to go do bloodwork in the morning then yardwork yardwork yardwork and yardwork. Then gonna do a big mixing/adding/swapping of heavy litter material. Also gonna try to plant more stuff in the quail house. Never got the tractor done so that might get some progress. We'll see.

Blood work?
Are you pregnant?

Probably newer version of Android. Personally, I wouldn't have an iThing, but the price was right. You don't find many techs who like Apple. Too proprietary and overpriced.

That makes sense. Mine was also a different product.

And that makes sense!! I personally love it now that I finally have it, so sleek/fast/so much more storage than the androids cause it’s set up differently and I will say the camera is incredible.

But I do hate how they come out with a new one like every few months it seems and barely anything has changed yet the old ones eventually stop working after a few models forcing you to buy a new one. But then again all phones do that now. It’s seriously annoying haha

But the recently deleted folder is huge for me. I accidentally delete pictures all the time or delete them then decide I actually like them after all, etc. and with that folder I can recover them if I want or choose to permanently delete them.

Surprisingly, I don’t think anyone else has that feature yet which is very weird.

Of course I could just get a real camera and then I wouldn’t have to worry about that but that feature is a lifesaver for me and carrying a relatively small phone around is much easier for me than carrying a big, quality DSLR and bothering with lenses, editing, camera straps/bags, etc. I do have one though that I’ve been meaning to learn but haven’t yet. But the phone is also easier with the dogs because it’s not as easy to ruin or break like an expensive camera would be and I can drop it on the ground or in water/mud and basically just wipe it off.

I have the newest version of Android available.

Ah okay that makes sense. Mine wasn’t too old, I think it was an S6 maybe? But it was also a Samsung Galaxy, not a Google phone so maybe that’s part of why it looked different?

I think I would go to jail for your version of that.

I will never buy anything but a Google phone again.
I Iove the darn thing.

That’s awesome!! I’ve thought about one but I do like the Apple. Idk. There’s stuff I like and don’t like about both phones. Both being this one and my Galaxy I had before.

Feed him.

Can someone stop here next!?

I sure hope you don’t mean the same way you “help” quail!

You and Nabiki apparently think alike

I would have a Pixel, but it doesn't come with a micro SD card. I need the space for my music. I think I mentioned that I have around 11,000 songs on my phone? I have several more CDs to rip to MP3 and put on there too.


That I've been doing. Making sure he has his probiotics two hours after his antibiotics, fruit, etc.

Oh wow that’s a lot of songs!! Although I probably have tons on my Spotify playlists, old iTunes account (haven’t used it in forever) and all the CDs I have (hundreds) haha

And that’s good!!

Yes.. I am hoping to have some free time between all the other things I am doing. My priority is to make a new hatcher, as I prefer a smaller one with transparent lid so I can see inside without opening it. That would be my 4th.. after having 2 incubators and a hatcher.
Lockdown today for 7 quail and 7 chicken eggs.. someone said chicks will not smash the quailies but I am not sure..
Has anyone hatched both chicken and quails at the same time in the same hatcher?

Yes ma'am like muddy said no biggie. I always seperated them at about a wk for fear the bigger would bully the smaller and my quail might not grow as fast.

I think I would go to jail for your version of that.

Just use an iPod thing for your music and carry two things.

X2!!

OMG that is a lot of devices!! You I thought I was bad with my one

And yeah I don’t really use iTunes anymore but still have tons of music on the cloud. I basically exclusively use Spotify now. YouTube to share songs/videos. And real CDs or Sirius in the car.

You crack me up.
I've never tried this Pokemon stuff.

It’s fun!

Panda was clarified to me last year. Read the description in the picture attached. In short I was told by the geneticist I am working with for the Coturnix Association if a bird doesn't display markings under the eye (cheek area) it is not a Panda and is instead heterozygous "dotted white" "Tuxedo". I was told if it looks like a Texas A&M it's the homozygotes form of "dotted white". Dana Manchester described this to me also over 10 years ago. He actuality wrote about it in his article "Coturnix Rising" I'll post the section that he talked about Tuxedo also. GREAT READ !
Hopefully the pics I have will upload showing the markings needed at cheek area to confirm Panda mutation.


Excerpt from Dana's article - COTURNIX RISING
((( Because these mutations can be 'combined' so to say- each specific mutation is called something but each particular variety that is causes is also known as something else. I will give an example of the most commonly used misname; tuxedo. The 'dotted white gene' will cause a bird to express half of its body in white phase while the other half is colored normally. A white patch will extend from the wings into the breast and up to the throat. So the mutation that causes this variation is known as 'dotted white' and forms the tuxedo pattern. However, a bird with this mutation is not simply known as 'Tuxedo' as most breeders would refer to them as. Because of our extensive variation, we can produce many color phases with the addition of a tuxedo white pattern. A wild-colored bird with a white breast would be considered a Pharaoh Tuxedo variety, whereas a variety of dark colored bird with a white breast is known as a Tibetan Tuxedo. The one 'dotted white' mutation actually has the ability of combining with all other pattern variations to from dozens of varieties, each distinctly different from one another and each having its own name. On the same topic, the dark black/mahogany colored variety is known as the Tibetan. Many breeders that keep this bird in a tuxedo form refer to it as a Black Tuxedo. This is incorrect, however. The addition of the 'dotted white gene' to a pre-existing variety does not warrant a new name, its is simply a different variety of the pre-existing and is thus called a Tibetan Tuxedo. To call this a Black Tuxedo is incorrect, a 'recessive black mutation' does exist and is very similar to the Tibetan in appearance. A Black Tuxedo variety could exist but this is very different from the Tibetan Tuxedo that is commonly produced and mislabeled as a Black Tuxedo. To summarize, multiple genetic variations can be combined to form a multitude of plumage varieties. Each distinct variety needs to be understood and called the proper name to ensure that other breeders do not breed the wrong birds under the wrong name, causing further confusion as new varieties come along.

Ok --- Sorry - another long post - sometimes needed to get across correct information to help prevent confusion with call names going around.

So this would make mine (the one I posted the picture of) a tuxedo, correct? Because mines colored parts are not in the right spots?


Fwiw. I am the one calling mine a panda only because that is kinda what I understood it to be.

Blood work?
Are you pregnant?

No I'm suffering extremely weird swelling and joint pain. My doctor is running 6? Blood screens for organ function, auto immune stuff, etc. Just had some venison wellington from my friend and now I get to fast until after I'm done at the lab. So fun.

OMG that all sounds awful!! Sorry.

Yeah it's been annoying AF!! Like I can't open sealed bottles or jars because there's no strength in my swollen fingers. Last night it looked like I had like 4 or 5 bee stings on one hand. The worst part is nothing makes it go away and the slightest wear and tear will set it off. Super dumb.
