Hello lovely, knowledgeable BYCers.
My son (16) has started to incubate 31 quail eggs. Please join the fun by helping name a quail or 2. He'd like to have one named after every letter of the alphabet, A-Z inclusive. This means we can have 7 letters repeated or diacriticals. Pick your letters!! Pick your bird!! Please cheer my boy on.
The eggs are from 3 different suppliers. 2 sets of eggs were shipped and the others came from our own little hens. We have a mix of sub-types.
10 Italians,
6 b&w Tuxedos,
3 Celadons,
2 Sparkly
2 Pearl Fees
2 Jumbo's
2 Mystery eggs (extra eggs from one supplier)
4 Hoose eggs (mix of Sparkly, Italian and Tux hens. With Rosetta and Italian males).
He let all the eggs sit for 24 hours, tipping them occassionally. The eggs have been numbered 1-31 with a sharpie marker. He didn't weigh the eggs before incubating.
We are using cheap incubators so not expecting a 100% hatch rate. One incubator is automatic. Temps are set at 37.5°c/99.5. Humidity is 25-40%. Wish my boy luck and please offer some name suggestions.
As there are 24 in one incubator we're going with alphabet themed names. We need names starting with A through to Z. The other 7 eggs are in a separate incubator and can be included in the alphabet themed name game.
