➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

Kiki makes her own rules. Since she has had a 100% hatch, I would not argue with her.

Multiple 100%.


Damn it I broke my own rule.

I just set 55 eggs - @Kiki

I cannot wait until these babies start laying eggs!

Me too! I did buy some adults to satisfy my desire for blue eggs now. Two of them are roos, but one of my hens came out of a celadon egg, so that gives me two hens to pass along celadon genes before these hatch.

Anyone good with genetics wanna take a guess at how I got a full white chick from my aviary with no white birds? Would it be a spontaneous mutation, or could there be hidden white genes in one of the two potential fathers? For some reason I was thinking white was one gene and recessive, but I could be making that up

Tuxedos can throw white chicks

I've got 10 celadon (hoping my wryneck came from a regular egg)) chicks that ate almost 2 weeks now. So cute!! I've got some red panda looking ones XD

My chicks are definitely not cinnamon.

Can you tell me what color they are?

My two little cinnamon look totally different.

Is this a future rooster? I am trying to sort them out.
They are two weeks old now.

Hum... strange. Maybe the breeder mixed up some orders accidently. They look like Pharaohs/Wildpatter but I am not sure, lights are often confusing.

I hope mine are the right colors, as I ordered from the same breeder ... .

In a week mine are on the calculated hatch day.
I will report!

Edit: looked again ... would be strange Pharaohs, I have to admit. These red feathertips are strange.

Egyptians maybe?

Strange indeed, some eggs were even marked as cinnamon.

I'll keep my fingers crossed, hopefully your hatch turns out more successful.

What do cinnamon look like? I've never heard of that color
