Oh no... what to do??? Coturnix quail eggs...

[Mrs MIA]

Of COURSE you do!!!

I understand now why people are hesitant to eat/toss fertile eggs...

Hey, I've got two weeks of not incubating to catch up on!!!

I ordered some chicks and thinking about odering some more...we'll see.

Yeah, I don't need `em...but I WANT `em! hehe

 

[Mrs MIA]

I wish I had unlimited space - and money for feed.

Well, talked to hubby this morning, and we decided that I'd set a few (34 was all I had room for!) and the rest will be boiled up and fed back to the birds. Heck... free feed, they're feeding themselves!

Two more weeks and the 15 I hatched from Sam's eggs will be laying, too, so I don't think I'll have any problems with egg shortages real soon.

What age are they when they start laying?

 

[Mrs MIA]

~ 6 weeks old. My first one pooped an egg at 5 1/2 weeks.

Woww! Kids these days just mature faster than I can fathom!

 

[Mrs MIA]

LOL! You got that right!
