Those are beautiful! Hope they hatch well.

Yes, there's a Feb hatchalong going. I started more eggs on Monday. Hatching my own eggs this time (which I'm not even sure are fertile) and a dozen I bought off KSL.

@gimmie birdies Do you feel like trading some of your grey colored eggs for some BCM or selling me some? I LOVE those grey colored eggs of yours

 

[gimmie birdies]

I have BCM, but only 2 of the gray egg layers, I have to build it up though, lots of demand.

 

[gimmie birdies]

I don't have a rooster on them currently.

My broodies are do then too.

I see you asked about eggs getting cold & can they still hatch. I have the same concern after getting home tonight to see my broody suddenly sitting in another nest with her eggs over there in the nest box due the 28th; I know the eggs can endure some cold while the broody makes a quick get-away to do her business. I put her back in with her eggs & am crossing my fingers, there's still a chance. So, hang in there & I'll be thinking of you & your eggs. Maybe someone has had this experience so close to hatching & has some encouraging words to share. Best wishes.

It's not a good idea to keep quail and chickens in the same coop. At least not in the same dirt.

I keep mine in wire rabbit cages or rabbit hutches. So they never are on dirt. My chickens clean up the feed the quail knock out.

Do you get the quail for meat, pleasure, or business? Or none of the above? lol

I am such a clutz, I have dropped like 2-3 eggs lately. I need those tactile gloves that just hold on to substances. Sheesh! Eggs literally sliding out of my hands and falling and breaking! Far too valuable for you eggs to be doing that, eggs! lol
