Let's plan a Quail egg hatch... set 'em Sept. 1, hatch 'em Sept 17-19+

Beckycs just sent me looking for this thread. I hatched about 40 Jumbo Brown and Texas A&Ms a week or so ago. . . . moved them to a grow out cage on Sunday and found a king snake in the cage on Tuesday eating them. Ugh! He was supposed to eat the mice in the barn not the quail. Soooo, I am in!! I love hatching quail.

I Use .22 Birdshot... Its More Sure And Infinately More Pleasing To Use And It Keeps My Moving Target Skills Well Honed

OH YEAH... IT WORKS WELL FOR SNAKES TOO
