These d'Anvers are like potato chips. You just have to have more!

How's the temperament on your boys. We had a hatchery quail too that was seasonally nasty. I was OK with him until he went for my face while I was bending over to fill the feeder one day. He went to live with a flock of LF that needed help with a snotty small dog, she was very pleased with his attitude in slapping the dog silly.

What kind are they?

They are Red Star Sex Links. Dad is a New Hampshire Mom is is a Delaware. They are hatchery so I am sure that neither the NH nor the Del parents of either of my girls is pure.

You can boost calcium by adding a 1/2 of food grade DE to their feed. Give it to them for several days or until the eggs firm up.


It is good that she did not die of something contagious.

Good Info

Red Sex-link is the name

Yep!

Yes glad it was egg issues.
To see chick/no chick clear eggs and air cells 400+ to see late veining 1500+

This is helpful too. Thanks!

Oh, good....I found one on Amazon with 1000 Lumens for $8.99......

Thanks for asking the question and sharing your discovery

Remember the IT chicks? Well, they're still in the office. I didn't want to bring the incubator back home over my bumpy dirt road.
And because we're computer geeks, we set up a webcam feed to stream to the local kindergarten. The kindergarteners already stopped by to see the eggs in person. There was much discussion on what was going to hatch out of the eggs. Popular choices were chicks, ducks, puppies or pizza.
My money's on the pizza. All the way.

Super cute description of the kids! Cool that they get to watch remotely!

Here is some Good Friday cuteness! These are pics of my first broody mama of the year and the five chicks she hatched this week. Anne (one of the 3 Bronte sisters) hatched last spring from some mixed eggs that I got from chiqita. She is a big, fluffy girl with lightly feathered legs. I'm not totally sure on her parentage besides Orlando the CL being her father. She is doing an excellent job with the babies! They all hatched from blue CL or AM eggs and Zorro is their daddy!

She is beautiful they are adorable. Have I told you that I love mixes

It is Day 20.

I have cheeping in my bantam nest

internal PIPS!!! Petunia is chatting with the eggs

Norma is doing her best impression of a very flat pile of red feathers. She is totally in the hatching zone but no peeping from the black sex links yet.

That's funny!

The boys can be aggressive. I have a buff Columbian boy that goes after me quite often. The khaki quail sometimes and the porcelain never until he became head honcho recently. So, yes the roosters are known to be aggressive, but the hens make up for it by being the sweetest things ever!
