🍁 September Hatch-a-Long 🍁

[FortCluck]

Just set some more quail eggs

 

[FortCluck]

You can find her on ebay as shelrox. She doesn't have anything listed today but I bet she will have some listed in a couple days.

I’ll probably buy in the spring. I’m done with chickens for now

Welp, my German pastel quail eggs are supposed to ship on the 31st, which means they should get here sometime around sept 3 most likely. I’ve also got an order in for some calico quail and sex link which I thought would be nice, since I don’t want to grow them all out only to find out they’re boys like this last time. Lol. The males are pharaoh and the females roux/egyptian apparently. In the spring I’ll be ordering celadon eggs from the same supplier, as I like their prices and they’ve been great communication-wise.
my broody duck is still faithfully sitting on her 2 (one was dead and smelly) eggs, they’re due around the 11th I think? She seems to be doing fine though so I’ll let her keep going. I have to physically remove her from her nest so she goes and gets some food and water and a bath. lol.

we're on day 12 of incubation here, and I took the opportunity while the broody was off to weigh the eggs; no.1 has lost 7g, no.2 has lost 7g (though that one has some wax patching a cracked area, so that's gotta add something back in), and no.4 has lost 4g, so it would appear all are developing...

I wish I could find some Salmon Faverolle eggs. I had 1 hatch from my first batch and none from any batches since then. She is such a goofball, I love it! I could use some more goofballs in my life. LOL!

I had some shipped and none hatched so this time I hopped in my car and drove 110 miles to pick some up they are my absolute favourite!

I have floating aircells on day 5. On day 2 they looked like they stuck back but I guess not. They are in upright turner. Help...

I wish I could do that! Unfortunately everyone out here only has "farm store breeds" I would probably have to drive 3-5 hours (or more) 1 way to find any.

 

[ForTheLoveOfSilkies]

I have a broody Silkie pullet I was unsure if I should allow her to raise chicks but advice from others seems like I should go for it so I have her set with 7 eggs today due to hatch in 3 weeks
She has 5 of her own eggs and 2 from my 5 year old Silkie.
She was half off the eggs earlier so I slipped them back under her and hope for the best.
I don't own an incubator, I've only hatched under broody hens. I should have a broody or 2 backup available in a couple weeks if she gives up anyway.
