Wow! Definitely more like Texas weather

I think the cold front is suppose to hit us down here tomorrow!

It brought us more rain and flooding this morning! We were finally drying up a little bit.

I am sure too. But if we are mail ordering eggs for fresh stock, we need a plan. Don't want to buy another incubator. I do plan to trial incubate to learn, but you've taught us a lot Kiki-san. So buy in bulk for the discount.

I will give you eggs.
Give.

Give.

An I will accept said eggs with much appreciation and gratitude, Kiki-san.

Then for fresh genetics, at some date in the future to be determined, we will get fresh stock. And quail will be enjoyed by many.

Comments on the county dump. Wire refrigerator, freezer and oven racks look like amazingly good cage material. Glass shelving like incubator windows. Removable door shelves like nest boxes. You get the drift.

All the same brand? Or 4 different ones? Preference, cons or comments? Any wisdom you desire to share?

Three brands,
Brinsea mini with humility pump: really nice but too small
2 Hovabators 1588 with humidifier pump: real nice for the money
1583 : good for a back up
1 Chinese. You get what you pay for, in this case not much (an egg turner)
I’ll probably use parts from all off them in my “wine cooler Bator”
Ps. The humidifier pump for the Hova Bator from Incubator Warehouse works better than the Brinsea one (less humidity spikes)

I haven't got that far down the road yet.
I'm thinking we can figure out a way to make the first batch of quail work for at least a year huh?

How much do you think shipping will cost?






I'll meet you half way.

I may have accidentally turned on the incubator... and added some eggs... I think I have a hatching addiction.

Expected hatch date is the 12th, chicken and quail eggs. I candled several chicken eggs last night when I was adding the quail eggs and two had good spiders

Jelly! I wish my birds would lay again already!

@KikisGirls Know anyone that has Ringneck doves? I’d like to get a few pair of them at some point.
