And could her big fluffy bottom hatch quail eggs? I assume she could do duck eggs no problem.

Absolutely. maybe

Do you have a quail cage?
Can you build one?
We can see if she can hatch quail when she does go broody.

I thought that maybe one of my Australorps was practicing. She stayed in the box for forever. I swear she was in there for an hr. I think she fell asleep

Australorps love to be broody too. Ours don't get the chance because our older hens attack them so they can be broody instead.

I want to build one. And no, I won't get any quail eggs until I have one and it is all set up and good to go. I'll gladly buy some from you when the time is right tho. It won't come until after I get my new chicks and they're all outside and stuff. I'm just thinking ahead as in what do I want to accomplish and what are my goals this yr. 1 thing at a time. I like to plan things to death lol.

My Australorps are 11months old now. I'm still only having 5/6 of them laying so far. One is taking her time getting back in the swing of things. I'm having one give me some wonky shaped eggs too. The bottom part is nice and rounded and it looks like it gets squeeeezed at the top as it comes out lol. Is a little small and pointy. And most of their eggs are only medium sized. I was hoping they'd start to get bigger as they got older but nope. I just have smaller girls I guess.

Okay ya'll, I need assistance. My dear "uncle" (life-long family friend who is more of an uncle than some of my real) wants to send me a gift for my 20th. I have no idea what to ask for...so any ideas?? He'll go to the ends of the earth for me and my brother so I want to make sure that it's reasonable.

My girls are small too, and their eggs reflect that. I'm hoping these babies that we hatched will take after their daddy lol! He passes on large layers too so fingers crossed.

You want Blue Aussie eggs?

Maaaaybe

I think that if I truly want larger eggs that I am probably going to need a bigger/standard roo. Instead of my cute small guys. I just adore them tho! I guess in time I will have to decided what my priorities are.
