Okay...the saga started several weeks ago when Redhen and I were talking about how we both wanted to try raising coturnix quail. This would be Redhen's first time incubating eggs (Ahhhh...the birth of a hatchaholic...what a beautiful thing!
) We decided to give it a try and together, ordered 200 Texas A & M Coturnix Quail eggs from E-bay.
They sent 300!
Out of the 300, 33 were either cracked or broken. I brought 150 to Redhen, kept 100 for my bator and gave my dd11 17 for her homemade MissPrissy style bator (which she made herself, using her own b'day money...
)
Today is D-day...the day we all stop turning and set the eggs up for hatching!
After candling mine, and pulling clears, I think I have 73 left. My daughter hasn't candled or pulled any of hers (she's worried she'll drop them
)
So here are our bators...
and
And I'll get Redhen to post a pic of hers once she's up and about on here....
