Can someone please kindly tell me what happened with the two original balut and the other three that kiki got? I got like 100 pages in then skipped in like tens for the next 500 pages and was lost and trying to backtrack to figure it out and now my brain hurts so I'm asking

@K.Riggs
I think the first 2 attempts failed, third try produced 2 healthy ducklings.

I just got my first egg EVER from one of my hens!!! WOOT!!!View attachment 1484861

Congrats!

Have you held it again this morning?
Just to look at it?

Do you have quail egg scissors? You will want some if you plan to eat any of the eggs. When your birds come online you will have more eggs than you know what to do with. I actually ha e two pairs and some plastic egg holders. I’ll send a pair of scissors and some egg crates if you want them. Then you can scrub the spots of your own eggs for your experiment!

D that is too nice of you.
I'll think about it.

I just checked the other eggs.
I can see veining in 5 more eggs this morning.
So now I have 15 out of 10 developing for sure. I will check the last 4 tonight.



I do not think my fake egg is going to develop.

Oh okay lol.
See what you’ve done, now I feel like every question is stupid!

LOL
Stop that right now.



I did laugh just now.
I can't help it, I promise.

I thought about your question.
It is going to depend what type of stuff you use in the cage as to whether or not they are dusty. I am going to say they will probably be dusty.

Multi level-probably not so much.
When I was building my quail cage I really wanted to add an "upstairs" area but I didn't see very many quail cages built with one so I figured they don't do stairs/ramps too well.

I really don't know.
I may still add a loft like thing inside my cage just to test it out.
