➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

I breed for colors, so at times I hatch a lot. I've got a ridiculous variety of color/mutation combinations. I'm focusing developing two or three right now, so I'm not hatching quite as many. I do sell live birds, but once I get 20 or so 8 week or older birds that haven't sold, I butcher them. I wasn't sure it was worth it, but I talked to someone who serves them as hor d'euvres and figured I'd try it. He uses the whole bird, but breasting them out works better for me.

I have a variety of set ups. Much depends on the personalities if the birds and what I'm breeding for. I have pairs, trios, two males to three hens (the most successful grouping), one larger colony, 10-15 hens in a group, and some bachelor groups that vary in size.
Hmm, I didn't think about using them as appetizers. I will have to do this next time. I have only hatched small numbers because I was worried what I would do with them if they didn't fit in my breeding program. I currently have 6 buttons, but 3 are full siblings and
2 are (now grown) chicks from my male and the only unrelated female. I want to get more eggs to hatch from another source but I have had terrible hatches from shipped button eggs. I think I will wait until spring and then bite the bullet and hope for at least 1 male from a shipped egg.
 
White one with stripe is probably going to be a tuxedo not an Egyptian.
:confused:I was thinking it might have been an Egyptian misfit (you know, not what we had anticipated) since it was out of the SexLink group.
:oldI refuse to call it a Tuxedo if all it ends up with is a colored mohawk!
