I feel like a child on Easter morning some days when my chickens lay eggs in random places. I couldn't imagine looking for little quail eggs, I would be looking for days

my quail girls tend to lay around the perimeter of the aviary or in the hideaways so while it is somewhat of an easter egg hunt everyday, they are usually easy to spot!!

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to incubators, do I leave the red plug in?

Sorry if this is a stupid question

I’m so happy you have joined us for your first hatch!! *warning* hatching is ADDICTIVE! as you may have seen in my previous post, this event was the one that started my addiction!! I see you have already gotten some great advice from others.....so good luck and Happy Hatching!!!

I have come to an important decision. One I feel is right in my gut. I’ve decided that the chick’s first movie will be The Little Mermaid.
If they end up being named: Scuttle, Aerial, Eric, Flounder, etc., so be it.

Oh! I have been meaning to ask, can the adult quail fit through the bars of a dog kennel? I keep thinking they can, and it would make my life easier.

How many eggs were set today?

I set 40 today... I'm not sure who else set some. I'm stressed to the max thinking I'll screw up. At least I didn't pay for the eggs

My broody and her flock are safe and sound, locked in their coop. Day 3 tomorrow...
