Good Morning! Another day in this beautiful world. Don't take candy from strangers & remember 2 never trust a person with dry hands coming out of bathroom!

Still caffeinating here at the Gable house. I should be alive in another cup or two. Anyone have a Coffee IV they would want to swap?

Ugh, never mind. I'm invisible today so nothing to see here.

BHep I have some eggy's for you. They stopped eating their eggs.

Will send some tomorrow.


Hollowoakfarm Did you hatch some of the little Buttons? If not, I'll be happy to send more. Have lots available.


My Natureform bator's humidity sensor just died with lots of wonderful eggs in it. Almost 500.00 to replace. It's on order. Good thing I have pans that fit on the bottom that I can fill with water. Don't want to lose all those " to be" babies to die.

So sorry for all the bad things happening to all the good people on here. Good days are on their way. I feel it.

Hollowoakfarm[/B]      Did you hatch some of the little Buttons?  If not, I'll be happy to send more.  Have lots available.

I've been having poor hatches for some reason lately. I only got six little cuties to hatch. I had thought it was shipping, but I just had a poor hatch on eggs I transported for a three hour drive. (Very Expensive Eggs) I've got some from BHep in, and they only had an hour or so drive. I'm currently testing hatching "on the side" versus "in a carton" on some Wellie eggs. I let all the little buttons hatch in the hatcher tray of the cabinet so they didn't get stomped, but that didn't help. I have no idea what is going on. The only thing I do know is that it's happening to others I know, so maybe it's environmental. Beth and I were discussing humidity possibilities.

However, you don't need to go to the expense of sending more. My poor hatch is not the fault of your eggs! Especially since you sent double what I "mined" to start with, plus some! (But I would like to discuss me buying some more.....) I would also love to see pictures of how you keep yours. I have done a lot of reading, but nothing beats learning from experience!

Aside from Bob, the Bourbon Red tom turkey we just had to put down at eight years old, my husband has not shown much interest in my poultry other than their involvement with our cashflow. These button quail he checks on several times a day, including right before he goes to bed! He is totally fascinated with them! I'm loving it!

What kind of Bator do you have? Does your temp stay steady? Do you incubate and hatch in the same bator? What humidity do you use for incubating and lockdown? Sorry for all the questions. You don't need to be lose good eggs if it's at all possible. Hope I can help.

You don't have to pay for more. I have tons and I hatch tons. You would not believe what I have here. I have my feed made for me and I go threw 2 tons of feed a month, plus fodder.

OH! Do you cut the bottoms out of the egg cartons?
