Have my first quail hatched. Anyone have a good pickled egg recipe

Hey Bobo, I experimented with a few recipes a couple months ago. I was looking for BBQ pickled egg recipes.

This recipes was tasty. The link to the website no longer works. I'm sure I adjusted the ingredients to my liking when I made it but this is what I started with.

1 cup Apple cider vinegar
1/2 water
1 cup brown sugar
1 T Sriacha sauce or other hot sauce
2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
4 garlic cloves crushed
1/2 fresh jalapeno sliced with seeds removed
black pepper to taste
2 T Liquid smoke

You'd want to bring all the above ingredients to a boil for at least 5 min as you would other pickled egg recipes then let cool before you put in jar with eggs.
I used this for refrigerator pickled eggs. I didn't do the true canning(non refrigerated)

I also made some that have been in the fridge for about 10 days now. I used my favorite BBQ sauce "Show-Me" from Missouri. I made sure to use 1 cup apple cider vinegar for the pickling and added as much sauce as I could to fill the jar. They have a nice flavor to them if you like BBQ flavored eggs.

Seems like everyone is busy, busy, lots of hatchlings too!!!
We finished the new coop today, but I forgot to take pics, I'll have to add some later. It is a duplex of two smaller coops under one roof and we already have both sides full. The 4 campine and 1 Araucana have one side and 9 buff orphingtons have the other. I just got those today, 8 pullets and 1 roo. All of these are about 9 weeks old. It's funny how much bigger the buffs are than the campines even tho they are the same age. Come spring time I ought to have lots of eggs!!! Total now I have 14 girls and 4 boys, but I have separate coops and runs for each group. How does this chicken math work???

Hey lakones, looks like you already have chicken math. Uncontrollable urge to expand. New coops, new birds, new .....well, you get the picture. It did not take me anytime to come down with it. Never looked back. Got Marraduna Basque eggs coming tomorrow or so and hopefully Lavender Australorps in Jan. from JennieRD. That will be my 3 breeds along with the White Plymouth Rocks. I'm not counting the Cobb 500 birds. They just eat, they don't give me eggs so I'm mad at them.

I have let them out of the coop to roam around for a couple of hours for the past few days. No cats, I don't think, around and I have not seen the big dogs lately. Maybe the neighbors decided that if they keep the in their yard, nobody will have them killed. Pitts. And attackers of people as well as animals.

Lordy, I feel this cold snap coming with a vengeance!

Good news is that Roger Bacon has been unbelievably gentle and sweet with all the big girls. We might have to change his name.

Maybe "Roger Casanova Bacon" would be more appropriate. And we have some eggs fertile already. Go Roger!

Didn't know it was already sectioned off thought it was all open except the brooder. Pam
