Do you notice any of the dark ones being bigger than the others?
Remember Cinco de May eggs I set and gave to the lady?

She has one dark one that is double the size of the rest.
I am going to see it in person tomorrow.
I might just steal it.

That makes sense!! So yours are on the ground then? I think I would feel bad doing wire haha

You aren't getting quail anytime soon so don't worry...you won't be feeling bad.

 

[Kiki]

Oh my goodness... some people go so long without getting an answer.

It's horrible huh?
I about died when I saw that list and brought it to Nifty's attention.

I GOT MY QUAIL EGGS FROM MYSHIRE TODAY! 44 eggs, 11 from each snowie, celadon, Tibetan, and pansy fee! the eggs are so variable I love them!!

I'll add you to the sheet now!
WOOT!

 

[Kiki]

Exactly how I feel, I can't wait for tomorrow when I can put them in the Bator. Some of the non-celadon eggs are greenish and have no blotches. Hidden celadon gene? or am i just crazy?

Why not set them now?

Why not set them now?

I thought you had to wait 12-24 hours for the air cells to settle or i would

@Nabiki How are your eggs looking?

I've only candled about half of them, but those looked fine. I'm going to candle the rest tonight.

Why the tears? I'm thinking of keeping a breeding set of the pansies. I have two hens from my first batch in my mixed pen, so all I need are a roo and three more hens.

Several of the dark ones are big, but none are Goliath size. Goliath is still my favourite hen.

I just got my one year anniversary notice a couple days ago. On one hand, I can't believe it's already been a year, on the other, it's only been a year and I've hatched, sold, and eaten an awful lot of quail.

Can you introduce quail that are 2 weeks apart?

I think these quail will be ready to go out in about a week so I am just wondering how introductions go. I have a grow out pen in case they try to kill them, but I wanted the ones I like to be in the aviary together until they are mature and I can tell what they are then it will be decided if we keep them or not.

you will probably be fine introducing the new batch as you only have 3 older ones......my mature males are the only ones that mess with the newbies as they will try to “breed” anything!!
