Some of them may be the Game x BCMs that you hatched out from me. Processing the roos was part of the reason I did that mix, so if that's what they are, let me know how it goes.
I have a chicken Lovin friend that went to Manteca & had 5 processed. She said it was fast & they had her wait to take them home & cost $5 a piece. A good experience as far as processing goes but she doesn't have the heart for it & will rehome instead from now on.........
. I personally have no problem with it but want to do my own.
Kim,
Does it matter what color your Cotunix Quail are? I got the eggs finally but they were a week & 1/2 in the postal system so I don't know if they will even hatch. I did put them in just in case. I have since been told that if these are whites (which they are) they may be a variety that is much larger & fast to mature. Does that matter. Are brown ones okay????
Oh I hope they hatch
Color doesn't matter right now. I was kind of hoping to get whites soon, so that's fine. Yes they are tiny. I held 8 of them in the palm of my hand and probably could have held 10. LOL
And they are very very fast. They pop straight up and they can move within a few minutes after hatch. I swear they were drying while they were zipping, cause I was nose pressed to the door watching and only saw a couple that look damp not wet. LOL Then they look like Jiffy Pop, cause they start popping all over the incubator within a minute or to. Amazing and funny.
These hatch is what? A little over 2 weeks. On day 5 or 6 I was flushing quail in my living room. They were in a tall box and it was nothing to those tiny things. The double in size every day the first week or so and then they just change every day after than. They are so round and chubby. I stuck two of popcorns eggs into the bator to see if they'll hatch. Kind of a waste to incubate 2 quail eggs, but I had them and was setting anyway. At least this way if they hatch we'll know they came from Popcorn.
