My first time ever incubating Quail eggs.

@ JetCat - Ahhh thank you, i wondered why the eggs from both looked identical. I thought people were talking about two different types of Quail when they referred to them as either Japanese or Cortonix eggs.

Coturnix is the Genus, Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica) is a species and is the most common

I plan on getting some either sheep or goats for milking more then likely sheep since they would be duel purpose. And some pigs and possibly a cow or two
