➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Nabiki]

Soon to be ex-roommate's second and third alarm have gone off, so I guess that means I'd better head out for work. He'll be up in an hour or so.

Yes... but not enough to house 200.


They have to stay somewhere in the interim, and besides, feed for 200 birds would be well over my yearly feed budget!

Welcome to my world Banty, nearly 400 chicks 2 years ago, last year with my broke hip, I was down to 240....my feed bill looks like the national debt!

 

[007Sean]

Not all at once silly.

You will hatch in batches of 30 like normal people do.

I'm not normal! 30 eggs would be 1 days collection!

Y'all are setting tonight right?

Setting Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning if everything ships as planned. The eggs are shipping out on Saturday, should get here Tuesday

And you claim sanity! I'm a small time hatcher. Y'all are the crazy ones.

I believe I've only set about 350 eggs total. I just plain don't have the infrastructure to do large hatches. Brooder space comes at a premium here.

I helps to be a "bird brain" but if your raising pheasants, it's too hard to just limit yourself to a messily 30 chicks!

I hear ya! I feel like a circus sideshow with all the "juggling" around I have to do!

Spring is just around the corner.
You must recoup the expenses, the labor and prove the design. 1 or 2 hatches is not a statistically significant sample for the dissertation.

@Kiki could you post a picture of your plastic baskets You separate your eggs with in the incubator so that I can send it to my husband I am sending him to the store right now
