MY BAD!!!! I adjusted the previous post ALL the buttons are from Alaska!!!! isn't that amazing that they can travel that far and hatch! OMG Rebecca, they are soooo cute! I want a hundred of them!

Well done!

so out of 6 coturnix eggs 3 hatched and out of 9 button eggs 3 hatched..... are you still waiting on a few to see if they hatch? if so let me know how many total you get. and I guess that that isnt to bad of a hatch rate... seeing as they had to travel so far.....and in winter to boot!! I am so happy for ya!

I lied there are 4 buttons so far. They just started hatching so YOU BETCHA, we are waiting it out. I will let you know the final outcome of the hatching and yes, it is very good.

Nessia, I don't think the pheasant made anything. they candle clear so I would say they are done. Sorry!

Well no laughing!!! A friend of mine was throwing out some old particle board dressers. I snatched them up and DH is going to build a screen top for them. THAT is where they will be housed. Also the Ag instructor has a normal brooder that we can use. Then of course, we have the good old rubbermaid brooders I have used before!

We only have to keep them for a week because the ffa kids will take some and the rest will be sold the following weekend after they hatch. So 4-5 days max!
