➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Final count...

40 eggs... 2 were junk (cracked) before lockdown probably my fault. 38 made it to lockdown. 31 hatched and 5 never hatched and 2 weren’t even chicks and I should’ve pulled them.

And these egg carton feeders work amazing. I just put tape on both sides of the holes. No more wasting feed.

I had 30 hatch the last 3 days. Not one white one, so they whites aren't even breeding each other. All wild type Jumbos Homegrown.
Thinking about butchering most of my 7 whites....
@Kiki this didn't get added, (or my last one but I can't remember all details other than 26 hatched)
5/8 - 5/26
I put in 47
35 into lockdown
30 live quail chicks.

I'm using the flats from the grocery store that Kiki uses for dirt boxes. Store shelf stockers love it when I take their trash off the shelf for them. The little buggers can and do jump in pretty quick.
 
Do you do the no mess feeders? Crazy Lady bought a "chick starter pack" that had miniature feeder and waterer in it. After a month, I thought it was uselessly small. Working good for quail chicks. I got her money's worth out of it.

Once the quail are large enough, use the 48 ounce cottage cheese or sour creme containers. With head holes cut into it.

I do those. I even posted on my quail FB page how to make one.
