➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

I love to hear myself sing.

I know for a fact that my voice sounds better to myself than it does to others. Record your singing and then play it back to yourself and you will understand what the crazy lady is talking about.

What is a dike?

Ask the Mex.

Diagonal Pliers / wire cutting pliers are also known as dikes.

Uhhhhh....

The definition I’m thinking of is probably not the one you want....

The one you are thinking of is spelled dyke.

Oh yeah true! Didn’t even think of the alternate spelling

I am very tempted to get the incubator setup and running again...
It's freezing outside, so most people up this way would expect a decrease or even total halt in egg production. However, our quail are quite comfortable in the garage. I'm collecting at least 20 eggs per day. I have about 200 quail eggs in the fridge right now! I could easily fill the incubator in just a few days (it holds 120 eggs). I'm still not selectively breeding with breeder cages, but I do have the generations separated to avoid parent/child breeding and most of my eggs are coming from the 1st generation birds still. The problem is I only have 1 empty cage right now. It could probably hold 24 adult quail. If I hatch a bunch, I'll possibly have too many to grow out in the current space available and I'm not looking to build another cage right now - I have enough work around the house and yard to get done right now as it is. I also don't know that I want to burden DW with more birds to care for since I'll be going back to work in 2 weeks - I'm on parental leave right now.

P.S.: Our daughter was born a week ago. I'm not sure if I told you all that yet.

Normally I would say hatch hatch hatch!!! But in this case I think you should probably focus on your daughter/fam/house stuff for a while

But hatch after.

Congratulations btw!!

Yes! That is an excellent strategy too!! I agree!! Although not sure his wife will appreciate more babies to care for when she just had one

Although I guess if you set now, it’ll be a month before they hatch... plenty of time to break the news.
