Yea its been 90-100 here daily. i put a fan out there today to cool it off

I still say boy, but ill be happy to be wrong! My boys  often do not get color until  they are MUCH older, for my lines it is not reliable, except if they have some they are boys.
 Those are very  round feathers however...

Technically you do need a permit for bobs, but they only care about local cali/mountian/rare quail.  but bobs WILL pass on diseases to your local quail so keep them away from chicken poo. Most people don't know what you need permits for at the permit office, however, so  i would not  sweat it unless its  mountian cali or  close species .

looks like they all have spots coming  in on the chest, no white on the Manchurians, ahh well.  The little one in the last pic is a regular tux.  If your yellow ones get that patch, we will celebrate! You have room for eggs? if so I can refill today, i cant put anything in for a while, going away  from the 18-21st.

Is it hot out? My girls loose their eggs  if its getting in the 90-100 frequently. I don't let them hatch  in the summer unless they are inside, only raise babies.

 /hugs
 even if you are next day, in the heat, you have to overnight, as they do not take up  all the boxes to the lab every day, but they take all the overnights. I had a few get lost in the reg mail and  miss getting  necrod.

My dad was here for a week and I have not been on! I missed about 200 posts, but caught the last 300. 

My chicks from the party hatched, and I cant figure out what color these am's are, does anyone remember who had the  am eggs on the raffle table? was gonna pm and ask, a whole bunch look lavender...

@BCollie Sorry for the loss of your hen and congrats on your hatches... Seems like it was just yesterday that you got your incubator.

Fedex delivers directly to the UCD Lab. USPS only delivers on Monday Wednesday and Friday. USPS goes to the Mail Division and can be delayed so never ship USPS.

It was regular fed ex, not USPS. even THAT got lost!

Well, hello gorgeous.

On a side note, apparently counting days on a calendar is not my strong suit. The turkeys are not due to hatch until NEXT week. Duh.
Has it really only been 3 weeks since the chicken party? Yep - dagnabbit.

That can happen with a new driver. The University is like a city without addresses......

One important note:

The University is closed on weekends and Holidays. No one will be here to collect the mail. Over Christmas break, there will be storage pods stashed in Davis. Fedex and UPS will store packages in those pods until the Departments open back up. My Department is usually closed from the day before Christmas until the day after January first.

Check the Holiday Schedule at the UCD Lab before shipping!
