Flock/Life Journey's 2019

So it looks like ago the babies weathered the cold snap jyst fine. However I had something weird. Has anyone experienced this? I collected eggs and this one egg is just teeny tiny. Smaller than any egg I've seen from them.View attachment 1692693
How cute is that! Is it from a regular gal?
 
Well if i did my math right today is the day my quail eggs should hatch! is there anything special i need to do to coax them out? Should i stop turning the eggs? Ive been trying to read up but still wondering if there are even babies in there as candling has been difficult.
:idunno:fl:idunno:barnie

What day exactly is it? Day 1 is the day after the day you set. If it is after day 15 i would most def Stop turning them. Yes candling them is very tough do you have any pics maybe i can help u identify life. What about is the ambient humidity of the (i assume) home your incubating in? Thatll make a difference with the humidity concerns bumping it or "dry hatching" if u dont know the ambient u can look on a phones weather app and outside is a better starting place than none.

@mixedUPturk may be able to assist you....

Im dumbfounded at the growth rate of the good lines i havent ever had anything sprout like this of the Hundreds of birds ive hatched and raised. I dont have the math but i bet even my pekin ducks didnt match in growth rate per lb + feathers and those things grow at an alarming rate.

Good to hear from you!! Wow, they look great! Are most or all of them doing well?
I have been meaning to ask and see how things were going!!
 
Don't temp me! :gig I'm good with my girls, though Spanish chickens do sound cool. They have some dark brown eggs, almost like a marans. Very neat.
With chickens, you need more eventually!

Keep them in mind when replacing some from the older flock

There was a great escape facilitated by a hungry chook who wanted the baby feed but i was able to catch all but 3. The one with splay had a relapse and it wont ever walk right now but its mobile enough to grow up for proccessing day so im leaving it. It may be a hen but i cant keep it handicapped. There was also one with one eye who got neurologically induced wry neck and didnt recover despite any nursing i administered so i put it down.
