So is everyone just going to keep this thread going? I'm setting my turkey eggs today. The hen laid an egg every other day, so I've got 6 collected since the 10th. If I get them set today I think they should hatch around April 17th.

So, tomorrow like...Saturday is your due date?

Yup! They should start hatching tomorrow. I'm hoping they are done hatching by Monday at the latest. They're in a neighbor's bator.

Another option for quail is for ordering day old chicks. They were ridiculously cheap when ordering 100+... I got mine from a hatchery in iowa maybe sand hill??? Dont remember... I ordered 200 and got 250+/- . They were really cute but very fragile. I had them in a large brooder and if they got far from the heat source they would just pile up in a corner and die.. They are super sensitive to brooder temps when young so you really have to make sure they cant find a way to get separated from the heat source. They can also fly well within a week or two from hatching so you need a secure cover. I always found it an adventure to feed, water and clean their brooder.

Goodness, they sound like high maintenance. I might try it out next year though. We'll see.

Awesome!

I guess the thread will keep going until people stop incubating.
