➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Nabiki]

I can't keep quail! My babies are only 4 days old, and I've already sold 13 of them. 10 are being picked up tomorrow, 3 to be delivered as soon as they're off of heat.

Don't worry, @Kiki I plan to keep those ones we want to keep an eye on so we can see how they feather out.

Do you need more eggs?

How much does it cost to get the testing done? I'm on the waiting list for NPIP certification, but they have yet to answer me when I ask how much it is for the testing.

There is no antigen to do the testing.
None.
This might be why they haven't gotten back to you.
There's only one company that makes the antigen and they are having issues.

I have 73 in the incubator now. I hope that lasts me for a while, but after they hatch, I might have to get more! I'm selling quail like hotcakes.

And you thought I was crazy for setting that many.

This is the company that makes the antigen to test for the PT...
If you scroll down you'll see a price list.
I'm not even seeing the pullorum antigen on the price list right now.

I've got a staggered hatch going right now. Also, I tagged you in a post I could use your opinion on.

are you running just 1 incubator for all or do you have a second to use as hatcher?? the first 3 sets could go into lockdown at same time with set 1 on day 15, set 2 on day 14, and set 3 on day 13.....the other 2 could be added at day 15......
if you are running just a single incubator, sets 4 and 5 could be negatively effected by higher humidity during lockdown/hatching of the other 3 batches

I built a hatcher so i could just put the eggs in the incubator as they're laid. I posted a post this morning about an egg I got last night. Can you check it out please? I could use some opinions.
