I just put 25 Georgia Giant Bobwhite Quail in my homemade cooler incubator 3 days ago and they should hatch around the 29th of August! So excited!

Now I'm curious. What do you do with quail?

 

[Peep_Show]

Many years ago I raised Corturnix (sp) for the eggs, but I'm not familiar with Georgia Giant Bobwhite. Did you get them from The Mad Hatcher on eBay? (that's who supplied my CQ's, but I see he had those quail also)

Hoping to hatch here soon - very soon I hope My first hatch in a brinsea eco 20 with 25 bantam eggs (bearded silkies and cochins) looking good when last candled on day 17...it's now day 19! No bad odors and I did see a few gentle wobbles yesterday. Having a hard time keeping the humidity up even though I put felt across the full wells and 2 sponges in at lockdown :-( Keep your fingers crossed for them please!

Here's the kicker.... I still have to build the chicken coop!

LOL

ME TOO!
Figured I would take the age old advice of 'counting' my chicks after they hatch! Then it's on!
I haven't even gotten to the candling stage yet and I started lurking on eBay and here on the Buy,Sell,Trade thread!
Lord help me...
Best wishes for a healthy hatching, hope you post lots of pics.

Just found out via a call to Animal Control (due to some missing nectarines and what animal could possibly be pilfering) that we've got raccoons to deal with on top of a rampant coyote population. Said soon-to-be-built coop is going to look like Fort Knox with all the extra fortifications. Well, good to know what's in the area....

HugHess, have you set any eggs yet? If so, what kind?

Saw a hairline crack in one egg this morning and now it's pipped - can see that little egg tooth popping in and out - what fun! Saw a few others rocking...
