For the losses

the lastdie hards still going

A couple pictures of my little brood

I have started calling the little quail Scooter. Put it in with the other babies as they were eating and drinking so well and Scooter definately seemed to get the idea. They are all getting along great.

Nothing compared to the other adorable photos, but hey the cutest "chick" is the cutest chick right

, so here is my entry

That's nothing. My 'bator holds about 100 quail eggs and 68 chicken eggs. I'm nowhere near topped out.

Please don't tell Sumatra she has room for more eggs.

Ok, no problem, I won't say a word..


*she said as she snickered and quitely boxed up 76 more quail eggs and 56 silkie eggs addressed to Sumatra... hahaha!*

I hatched quail for the first time this hatch and I only got one chick........so.........I ordered more eggs and am setting them next week along with some chicken eggs. So my question to you is, did you incubate the quail and chickens together??? I may need a few pointers on this. Please.

Ok, I have a confession to make... I don't actually have any quail eggs. YET. Spring may be a different story.. Can you just imagine me running through my hayfield trying to scare them off of their nests to steal their eggs....

I hatch Quail and Chicken ggss together quite often. Be sure to set the quail to hatch the same day as the chickens, so lockdown is the same day. I have baskets for the quail to keep them out of trouble with the chickens. The baskets are just plastic berry baskets flipped upside down over the quail eggs. It works to keep them in. Humidity's the same and turning's the same, so no worries there. Other than that it's all the same mostly.

maybe you could get a few from me. I'm expecting them in the spring.

I would love some Gambels or Valley quail eggs though.
