It really is hard

I find the option of eating the extras helps keep my numbers manageable, but hubby agreed to one pen of quail, and now I have 5. I can’t risk my only black one out there in the yard, so he and 4 friends are inside until I can breed him, then there’s the indoor cage of double silvers in my living room... oh I have to replace Tiger Millionaire, so I have 2 brooders of chicks

Some people don’t understand the pressure of being an animal lover.

20 GOLD EGGS INTO LOCKDOWN!!! I feel pretty good about this so far, surely lost the 10, and 2 are questionable. One of them is tiny tiny tiny, and the other is just not looking as developed as it should be. Using a NR 360 so never have had any issues with humidity. Day 18 is Wednesday! I cant wait. Then I have the celadons hatching on the 5th I believe along with a bunch of jumbo wilds I gave to a very persistent broody hen. AND I have grau fee eggs coming. Oh no what have I done. SO MANY EGGS!

I wish it wasn’t on Facebook all the best stuff is always involving social media. I’ll live vicariously thru you.

I know, its too bad. I like to think I dont use social media but I am here and on the quail Facebook groups, sooo, I definitely am. But they are very helpful!

2 pips!!! 1 problem...


One of the pips is on the small side of the egg. What do y'all suggest I do. I was just going to wait until day 19 then when I take out any chicks I would help it - that is, if it needs help. I whistled a bit and it poked its beak out. Im thinking it will hatch by itself. Ive never actually had this happen before so I'm not sure how it usually goes.

And I got good timing on this hatch! I just got my second vaccine today so for the next two days I can just sit and watch them hatch!

Edit: Upon closer inspection with a flashlight (dark room the incubators in). I have like 6-7 pips!! One more seems to be like mid egg though and not at the top. Could this be a result of putting in lockdown to early? I did so like early day 14.

The one from the wrong end will probably need help, but may not make it even if you do help. If there's a problem with hatch, there's often a problem with the chick. In my experience about 25% of the chicks I help make it, the rest either fail to thrive or end up needing to be culled. To assist or not is up to you.

Okay thank you I think I will. Rather give it 25% chance than none! Im gonna wait until I think everyone else is done though since I dont want to risk shrink wrapping or other problems for a sake of one possible chick. If its still kicking by then ill help.
