Myshire Farm SSC Hatch 🐣

[FloorCandy]

We put a bowl waterer and the nipple waterer in with them from day 1. They all tended to go for the bowl waterer but it got SO dirty so fast, I ended up taking it out today (they are about 3 days old), and they took from the nipple waterer almost immediately. I think with my next batch I’m going to only put in the nipple waterer. Once one started pecking at it, they all did, so I think if you add one in and take out their dish, they should figure it out pretty quickly! If mine need coxing, I usually just poke at things for a minute or two with a pencil eraser and they mimic. I hope that helps! The nipple option makes thinks SO much cleaner and easier. Mine are from RentaCoop. Good luck!

Mine are rent a coop too! So is my heat plate, and I used to buy hemp bedding from them but they don’t offer it anymore that I can find. I’m a big rent a coop fan.

Congratulations!! Are you loving having quail??

Yes mam, I have adult quail that I purchased earlier in the year, and will be processing later on, but the ones I have now are my source for hatching eggs, hopefully this year and next year. I enjoy incubating chicken and now quail. I am enjoying myself immensely...

So glad to hear it! Ours are all still babies, but our goal for them is the same (hatching/laying/freezer). Quite a learning curve so far, and I’m a bit nervous about overwintering, but I can’t see homesteading now without quail. So glad you are having fun!

An updated photo of our SSC babes as their adult feathers are coming in! It’s looks (so far) as thought 12 out of 1; have hatched true, and we have a beautiful Wild and a White within the mix! We are so happy with them! Our GPCs are going Inyo lockdown today, and I’ve made a few tweaks for hopefully a Higher hatch rate this time! I will be starting a new thread for this hatch today! Thanks for following along, Friends! This is so exciting!
