I am coming over to the Dark Side. By that, I mean your thread!

I can't wait to start my next Hatch.
I am guilty of collecting eggs the past few days.....

They are quail though, Cuz I live in "the city."

I can snag some Fertile eggs from the farm I help on, I can't WAIT for the Dominiques there start layin!

anytime we are there... its open to anyone you know that!

What kinda quail cots? nothing wrong with them, have you tried a few chukar? they are so pretty !

and Doms are what I wish I woulda got years ago! They are so beautiful!! I dont know anyone with SQ though, I havent research too well, but eventually this is on my next to breed list!

Oh.
They are Golden over Pharaoh.
I'm not sure how the lines are.
The breeder I got em from does em in colony cages.
I had an English White(smaller A&M like) that didn't fare well. She did have some Pharaoh "bleeding" through in one wing. She was Beautiful.
There is a large demand for the quail eggs/meat over here so that is why I started them.
(ok I was getting impatient waiting for that First Egg, and heard they can lay in as few as 6 weeks)
I don't know much about Chukar partridges, Do people use them for eggs/meat like they do Quail/Poultry?
I can get some Chukar fairly local.

The Farmer on the farm where I work/help always goes through Ideal.
I spotted a few Cockerels in the grow out coop, I hope they can keep up!

He orders Pullets, and Ideal does a decent job with them. He says he never had 10% cockerels from them, maybe 5% (what he says)

You missed everything!

A Pigeon is pipping. Some are not home and one person has an Aunt giving updates. There was a 7 of 7 hatch and a 10 of 11 hatch. Spradle leg has happened to two of us.

There was one assisted hatch picture and one hatcher is worried because they are rocking with no external pips yet. A couple of us had breakfast too!

I am on my second cup of coffee...

Cool.

All air cells look good. No clears. No saddles. No stinkers.
