*Hatch Update*Mrs.AK-Bird-Brain-RE:50+Jumbo Brown/Golden coturnix eggs

[I LOVE COCHINS]

Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain :

Congratulations! I just saw this!!

And it looks like I mixed a Texas A&M in there, too! Is the one in the second to last photo on the thermometer pure yellow with a black dot?

Woo hoo! Look out! 6 more weeks and you'll have more eggs to incubate!

Thanks and thanks again for sending them to me

! All I can say is that I'm in love with these little critters. Yes there is one solid yellow. I can't see a black dot any place on it yet. It is very curious and really all over the brooder. Their really friendly, they like to climb into our hands. As they grow older will that change? Have you heard back from the others that received eggs and how their hatchs went?

They stay pretty friendly, especially if you handle them a lot.

I haven't heard back yet on other hatches... I hope they're at least as good as yours!

Great! They are so precious. Sure hope the others had nice hatches too!​

What is the difference of the blondes with stripes and the others?

I'm hatching also and so far 6 have hatched and more pipping. So exciting.

How long can they stay in the brooder before they need to come out?

thanks.

There are browns, and the Goldens are gold with stripes... if you get pure yellows with a black spot here or there, it's a Texas A&M that got mixed in by accident... my boys help collect eggs sometimes, and they get mixed up... they all look the same! LOL!

I usually try to remove them all by 24 hours. The majority of them will hatch within a few hours, so once the activity slows down and they're all cute and fluffy, then I will quickly remove them to a brooder box. Mine is just a clear rubbermaid tote, with a 60w bulb hung down low. I put them on the rubber shelf liner or paper towels for the first week or until I can't keep up with the poopies anymore, then I move them to a wire cage with a 40w bulb.

I am so happy to be able to share these babies with people. I love my coturnix!!
