I don't want to breed him, just look at him.

Poor little quail eggs jammed in a corner.
A friend has been asking me if I will incubate some quail for her. They have 10 acres outside of town, her husband says quail will just be snacks for the varmints!

Yes I got a dozen Naked Neck mixes from Maine during the coldest week of winter here. I had 6 that developed and 5 made it to lockdown. My boys wanted them so we will see what we get.

I put the quail in the corner in case they hatch early, and I might have to snatch them out of there before the running of the bulls happens with the chicken eggs. LOL ! I started with 18 quail eggs and they just do not ship well in winter. Only 6 made it.

Not to be an enabler, but I have a neighbor who has a sign by the street for quail eggs! Not sure what kind they are. If you HAVE to have some, let me know lol

I just finished putting together another coop and attached pen "kit" for a grow-out coop/run for the 11 week old chicks which have been imprisoned in my ginormous brooder in the shed. I moved about 10 of 'em out two weeks ago. The last are now out, with their rooster. (There may be more roosters in the bunch, but this one has been The Brooder Rooster ever since it was 3 weeks old!)
Finally, they can get some natural light. And touch the ground, and look around and have places to roost at night. They are rather discombobulated right now, and the rest of my flock is VERY interested in them.
These are all chicks I've hatched from shipped eggs. Don't ask me what they are, I am too tired to look up the records. But The Baby Rooster is a light Brahma, I think. Or maybe a Cochin. REALLY feathered legs and feet - that's cochin, right? And there's a BO, an EE, some BCMs, a SS I think..... Gosh I'm whipped.
My week long house guest has departed (this morning) and now I can spend more time with the feathered folk.
Two incubators with several eggs in 'em, one due to hatch Chinese New Year (Feb 3) and another ... sometime... have to check those records, too. Also a MiniAdvance EX incubator with six of seven eggs in lockdown 3 days ago, which I kinda thought wouldn't hatch because of a cracked egg that leaked "some time" during the week my friend was here. Since it was an EX model that handles everything, I didn't check it until time for lockdown, long after the cracked egg leaked and COOKED into the auto turner plate, stopping it. So I spent some time cleaning that up, cleaning off the six remaining eggs and putting them back into the 'bator. Not much hope any would hatch.
Well, there's a hatched chick in it today!! Woo hoo!
And I've got shipped eggs paid for, soon to be sent to me. Still have the New Year's Hatch chicks in the brooder in the bathroom, too. Plus a couple which have hatched since....
No, no, I'm not addicted. I can stop any time. If I want to.
