so cute!!! I can't wait till we're hatching here too! They are so tiny and precious, I'm hoping not to get to attached though, since most of the guys will become food...

 

[Sumatra503]

I can make more from selling them since they are a novelty around here. Not food quite yet.

these are females, though. Didn't you here?

Yeah right!!!

 

[Stellar]

I'm confused..females??

 

[Sumatra503]

Apparently that joke went right over your head, Quail Lady.

It's me being hopeful, cus you don't eat females. Get it?

 

[Rozzie]

Cute! And, not only do I not eat the females, I don't eat the males, either.

However, Id still like it if about 90% of my hatch turned out to be females. (HA HA. I have plenty of boys already I am sure...)

 

[Stellar]

Ohhhh

checking the thread half a wake. You guys are silly!

Still hoping for some yummy pickled quail eggs from my new chicks.

I'm having trouble with a foot feddish. They are pretty bad about it. Is there anything I can do to help the foot pecking problem?

Also. I'm not sure they're eating. When do they normally start?
