Frizzles,do they require special care??

 

[JRNash]

The coturnix are still hatching it will be a couple days before I will know if any of the bobs made it

Wow!! Those are beautiful breeds!

I'm very excited about them!!

Frizzles,do they require special care??

From all that I've read they only require special care if they are double frizzled which these do not seem to be.

It's a dark rabbit hole... When I first discovered how the frizzle gene worked in breeding chickens I spent hours researching! Haha

I'm sitting here listening to coturnix whistling as they hatch. I've decided that never again will I put all of my eggs in one basket(incubator) I have multiple incubators,next time I'm going to distribute the eggs amongst them. I think it will give me a better chance of hatching shipped eggs.

Hatching ALL eggs.
