I've been collecting from my winter pen to set on the 14th too.. will have about 60 coturnix eggs of unknown mix since I toss all birds into one giant pen for winter.
White, Range, Dark Range, MGolds....... Gonna be a interested batch!

for all you quail hatchers collecting a bunch and for the hatch too .

Thanks for the finger crossing I think I'll need it. My last hatch didn't go so well. Only 6 out of 20 hatched.

I had a spike of 102 in bator #3. Couldn't get it down and stable so combined into two bators now.

hope things go smoother now. Still am not liking bator #2 - the hovabator. It is being horrible with humidity- couldn't get it over 18% until today.

Welcome to my world. That maxi pad is really helping keep my humidity up.

I didn't catch the post with the blue tube, but now I'm seeing visions of tampons stuffed in between the turner rows with the strings threaded up through the vents.

OMG I'm laughing so hard at this mental picture!

Oh crud, I'm so sorry. That's such a bummer. My fingers are

you'll get a few to hatch.


Steve........you're a funny guy, I love your humor! I know it's not funny when it's you, but it IS funny when it's not you.

I can clean up almost ANYTHING from my kids (spagetti wasn't too fun to clean up in the middle of the night) but I gag like crazy over anything from a dog!!!

Gorgeous rooster! Great shot of him!

Thanks! I love the way it shows off his coloring. I totally lucked out on the lighting that day. And he's a sweet boy, so that makes it so much better!
