I didn't wait for the temperature to settle, I placed my already compromised eggs the moment it got plugged in. I doubt the eggs reached those high temps. I'd be surprised if they still hatched. Basically those eggs sat in my warm attic for 24 hrs after they were snatched cols from my broody bad chicken.

Let's see pictures of your tiny quail eggs! Egg shipments are so exciting!!!

I'm hoping you get something to hatch. Those eggs have been through war.

not like he's covering 50 hens, he's only got 3 and they're all 2 years old. He's a few months younger than the hens. I'm about to break the second breeding pen of Ancona ducks up and run them as one group to save myself some work They're making a mess in that smaller pen.

He's gorgeous... has he earned his place yet? I had younger boy in with older girls, it took a while before top hen let him breed her... he had to earn it, lol...

I've seen him mount all 3 hens but not recently. He stays up on the roost most of the day and comes down and calls the girls for food when I feed. He seems to have earned his spot and the 3 of them are all over him at night.

Sam, what happened?

Everything is fine.
Losing my egg market sealed the deal... Keeping my ducks and I'll set it all up better next year...

Sad to hear it isn't working out, but I'm happy there wasn't anything else causing this decision.

Sorry you lost the market for eggs. Glad it wasn't anything else causing this.
