I moved him to a pen so he has access to dirt and I upped his protein-- still waiting and hoping for the best.

Awesome! I’m sure he’ll grow his healthy feathers right on back!

 

[HuffleClaw]

Awwwww so gorgeous

Thank you! Do you have any OEGBs?

 

[HuffleClaw]

Good luck!

It ended up going pretty well. 6 fertile, 5 hatched. I’m happy about that.

No sadly but I might get some one day.

Congratulations on the successful hatch!!!!! How precious are they???? Sweet little peeps. Any names yet?

My OEGBs are doing beautifully....finally getting used to the snow.

Here in 2-3 days, there'll be lots of cheeping and soft babies to snuggle....can't wait to see what varieties of OEGB I get in the assortment!

Exciting! Is it 15 assorted and 30 specific ones you said?

Here are mine I had before moving to Canada, all from Ideal Poultry (Cameron, Texas):

Blue quail I think

Pearl

Buttercup pattern

Same bird with a blue red hen

Fawn silver duckwing

White tailed buff roo

weird, when i go to edit the links disappear. Instead of posting the pearl twice I meant to post one of the buttercup patterned

5 Brassy Backs, 5 Spangled, 3 Crele cockerels, and 15 assorted. Cackle always throws in extras, so who knows how many there'll be.

Your birds are fantastic. I'd been looking into Pearl, but only found one picture online. Slightly off topic, but I'm curious as to the overall quality of Ideal OEGBs. Are they decent? Finding it difficult to stop eyeing those rare varieties....
