3 incubators are full, no "hatcher" available.... maybe I should buy one?

I want to see those Ramsey greys and coon Kelso

Idk. Don't check. I will from now on if a hatch is added on here.i apologize

I know everyone has all the pretty colors, but I just wanted to share some pics of my Jumbo Wild Quail from my first batch. They are so docile, I'm surprised by how calm they are. Only 2 of the 13 are wild. (1 died early on, and 1 we mercy killed as it had spraddle legs and failure to thrive)

I thought my "wild" type were more docile than the other colors, although I had a super sweet pansy & bunch of white ones that liked to be petted...

I will have them a few days before their owner comes to pick up the hatchlings, I'll get some good pictures of them for on here. I'm curious too, I love game hens though, but can't keep fullblood game cocks in my flock bc of too much fighting. I have a few 1/2 game....

@Phunktacular How many did you set?

I'm assuming you are asking how many eggs I set in incubator. This past Wednesday I set 95 eggs. Expected hatch date is 2/29.

When people are talking about Panda Quails (on other threads too) they post photos that look like Hugo.

Except I’ve always known Hugo to be a ‘poor colour quality’ English White. Just an English White that has excess brown coming though on the face, head and back.

At least where I am, that’s all they are, people don’t call them Panda.

Is he what you guys class as Panda?

From what I understand, and I may be wrong, the colouring on the back in a panda is more of a stripe down the middle and the head is more of a single spot. Hugo is a pretty bird, though!

@RUNuts Nutty are you candling right now?

Candled Thursday night and all are clears. I'll candle again tomorrow to verify and pull. Male crowing and foaming, but has to practice his technique more.

You're not having the best of luck with eggs lately!

Might be contagious. Be careful.

That’s probably right!

I’ve just seen people posting photos of quails that pretty much look exactly the same as Hugo and they label them as ‘Panda’ yet what it technically is in Hugo’s case is just a patchy English white

I still kinda think Hugo’s colour is pretty boring...not to offend him it’s nice but certainly not the nicest Coturnix colour out there. Good thing I like Hugo for his weird ‘personality’ rather than his colour alone!

 

[Fur-N-Fowl]

Once I start hatching bobwhites, I’m considering keeping a female aside and bringing her up with Hugo around. People have achieved bobwhites x Coturnix before so I may give it a go myself.

Yes, I know the risks but they’ll only be together while I’m there so nothing will happen and they won’t eat each other. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work, nothing lost or gained.

Saying it works...what colour would the chicks be?

Snowflake x English white would be the cross. I know they’ll most likely be sterile.
