Nice collection. Between the kids and us eating them, I took the lights off and am getting 1 quail egg a day. Made up for by the pullets giving 8 petite eggs a day. I'm not wanting for eggs.

You going to make Quail egg frittata for dinner?

i just ran out to fill up a pitcher and look in on the birds and was considering tying to get some pics today because the weather is beautiful.......BUT.....to my dismay, a chukar was bullying a little and on my way to get him out of harms way, I found melanie holding down my favorite little and trying to kill him!!! I scooped them both up and returned them to the shed brooder cage with food and water. Once i calm down a bit (and the urge to wring some necks goes away) I will go back out and try again to get pics! Im scared to use the grow-out cage in the aviary because it’s elevated and wire bottom

Off someone.

i cooled off and looked again....it wasn’t my favorite afterall....it was the rosetta tux that is a little “off” anyway as many of this batch of babies are....we think it’s related to the overcrowding and wacky temps for too long. i put my silver by the waterer today and it climbed in to drink! TWICE! i dried it off and it was sunny today but still! I put them all in the box again for the night but another had a small head wound....not sure if by quail, chukar, or pheasant. i’m definitely not incubating anymore large batches until the temps are warmer or my room is built.

That's a lot of eggs!

i just checked the “egg fridge” and I still have 12 dozen in cartons and like 25 dozen that still need to be cleaned and put in cartons! that doesn’t include around a dozen silkie eggs and 1+ dozen chukar eggs

Thats insane! My Drs office wants fresh chicken eggs every few months like 6 dozen.

I'm trying to figure out how to do it so they'll be good if he keeps them in the office.
