Dang Jim, that's madness! They are so tiny and precious. NO WAY will I be attempting to hatch quail, at least not today

This is Jim's house right now..........................................................

Psssst Shelley, there's still more surprises in the hatcher...Quick, get another screen name, send me a pm, I'll give you the correct count. lol

 

[tattooedchickenlady]

I was gonna guess, but I thought it was all over.....
I'll guess 88.

Gamebird starter, break the size of the starter down with a roller pin,or grind real fine. best not to wet the starter,as if will spoil.

Suger water the first day. Watch they dont drown,or get wet. Biggest killer for beginners is the quail chicks get wet or drown.


Looks likes my guess will be near your count.

Let us know what your total hatch is on the Quail.

GREAT JOB JIM!!! bet you like the sportsman.

Thankies man

,,, and i went down and got a quail waterer,, would be hard for them crickets to get in it hahahhaa,,, them things make me laugh

theres a couple i can see are gonna have messed up toes,,, i guess its an easy way to find the first ones fer dinnah

and tattoo'd,,,, i wish them quail were as big as those smileys

If you have a small wired cage you could put those ones in it and the toes should straighten right out. Or put them on wood chip bedding. I had a few of my buttons do that, and that's what I did.

I had 10 or 11 quail hatch today, I opened the bator to take a photo and two jump;ed out, I grabbed them, took the photo and put the lid down,
walked away, heard something, two were on the carpet, I picked them up, found another in a Chrismas card box on the table just sitting there............ I got them all back in, walked around the table, all seems quiet. told my family, what ever you do don't lift that lid!!!!!!!!!!!!

We built a wooden frame to set around the incubator to catch the little buggers when they run out - especially the button quail. Works really well.
