➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[FortCluck]

Well, unfortunately I have to close my flock now since I obviously brought in an infected chicken somehow. I'm not gonna bother with hatching chicken eggs I guess, nothing a good case of coryza won't ruin!!!

Oh no! That's why I get afraid of buying chicks from other people or hatching other people's eggs!

Exactly. I'm gonna do a major downsizing of my flock, hopefully that'll make for a less stressed flock & help them stay healthier.

I thought they were too but apparently according to my calculations it’s actually the 29th? I set them on the 8th like it said to on the hatch a long thread but I think it’s a day off. Oh well lol

the hatch-a-long was timed to hatch day after......

Yeah, @BantyChooks explained it yesterday. I didn’t realize that. Sorry.

I got a pretty pharoah hen. The shop had them seperated by sex. Tons of males and just three females. Someone bought two as I was coming in! So I took the last little girl.

This is Cleo. She is already tame! I can hold her and she will just sit on my lap.

Yeah, me too! Gotta get some more tin, to finish up topping the chicken yard off & putting up a wind block for them as well. My DH has caught a bit of the quail bug, he's wanting to build an aviary of sorts for the Bobs.


13 out & all fluffed.
Looked like most of the eggs left are externally pipped from what I could see too. Today is day 17 (12 eggs left).

@Kiki here's you a color update. Anyone got any ideas on this little dummy that I have circled? It's got the cutest smash face!

Kinda hard to tell but it might be a Pansy.

She's dumb. (Sweet)
Did you get a boy too?

I forgot to add....
When I find a snake in the laying box this is how I ventilate the barn!!! I got my ceramic egg back from that snake too!
SNAKE-zero

No way. There was one crowing in the next door cage. I can't deal with that in the house!
