➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[RUNuts]

@RUNuts Do you want this white dummy?

Is white dummy a girl? Does she weigh over 11 ounces? Do any tricks?

Pip has made NO progress for the last 24 hours. I might have shrunk wrapped while taking the other 2 out of the incubator.

Nothing on the last 4.

The size difference in the brooder is striking. Got one giant and 3 runts.

That is the only trick that works. Any incubator that you hatch eggs in will get full of chick dander and excrement.

Fine!
I was so hopeful that there would be some secret! I only have my GoodMother that is super easy to clean. I guess I'll just hafta stick with small hatches from now on.

and... I'm done with Coturnix! Sorry @Kiki

I've got someone wanting some of my cochin bantams, unfortunately my roos aren't cochin, I do however have a couple feather~legged up & comers.

So I am off the wagon & about to set some bantams!

Is the giant a dark one?

The giant is not a dark one.

At least!

Although I was thinking about throwing in a couple of my favorite hens eggs, since as of tomorrow they are going to their new home....

Will you please smash up just a little bit of feed?

Have you candled those last four yet?
Are they drawn down?

Did mash. They are eating everything.
Nope. No candle, may shrink wrap someone. Remember, they are supposed to hatch TODAY. No clue why these 4 got busy.

When I did candle last Sunday, there was a large difference in development that concerned me. Some very late quitters or a severe issue with a hot spot.
