monarc....my quail hatched!

[shawnkfl]

most of them anyway. i have 16 out of 24 that popped out today. the rest were quitters early on as they all still had a yellow yolk in them with little/no development. looks like i got a good mix of them too. i don't think i have any tux ones, unless it's too early to tell. i got black ones, yellow ones and light brown ones. my daughter loves them!

Tux Are Easy To Tell--- They Usually Have Yellow Eye Brows

Which Later Turn White And They Will Have Yellow Bibs Or Bellies. I Have 1 In The 'bator' Now...

Congrats!

cool. i do have some with "eyebrows" but i didn't notice any bibs on them. i only picked them up to get them in the brooder though. i'll inspect them closer tomorrow.

thank you for the eggs this afternoon. they're incubating now so the wait begins....again.

babies are so cute

awh great to hear!!! I'm sorry to hear that you had some quitters

Either it was low fertilty (at that time) on my end (which I don't believe because i've been having nice hatches here) or scrambling in the shipment

either way im happy you got a nice bit though!!!! I hope you did get some tuxedos!

Look for yellow on the wings of the ones with yellow eye brows...if they don't have yellow on the wings and the chest then they will mature to be a solid colored tibetan instead of a tuxedo. A tuxedo like J said are very easy to distinguish

I Hope ya got some they are my favorite!

they're funny little things. i put my hand in the brooder and they all come running right over. i move my hand around and they all follow wherever i move. i have a little yellow one (A & M i assume?) that runs over and leaps right into my hand. they have deffinately imprinted on me!

awh adorable!!!

yes that'd be an A & M is it a pure white one? (pure yellow) lol! I hatch A LOT of pure whites, and they are my favorite. The roos look like doves at adults least i think so

I'm so happy you are enjoying their sweetness

[shawnkfl]

yes. there are two that are pure yellow. absolutely no other color on them. those are my favorite already. i just checked on them. they look like cockroaches scurrying around in there. i have one baby chicken with them and it seems they are learning to eat and drink from watching him/her. everyone is doing great so far.
