Just noticed the new title - you are too funny!!!! I would have posted sooner but I'm directionally challenged and got lost; couldn't find the thread!!!!
I still had chicks hatching today - even lost track of the day. I think it's day 21. Came home to more chicks today! Up to at least (and it's hard to count because they are so FAST!) 18 jumbos and 15 bugtons, with more bugtons hatching as we speak. Still can't believe it, this many days late. If I wasn't so lazy and tired, I'd run down and take pics, but I'm so glad that half of my buttons will be solid white. 50% of the other half are the "normals" and look just like the jumbo coturnix with the stripes. The other 50% of those are a mix of the two. My white males are BUSY boys!!!
I also candled my chicken eggs today, due two weeks from tomorrow. Of my BO eggs, 4 out of 9 have chicks. Of the mixed eggs, ALL have chicks!! That Little Ralphie is something else!! He never disappoints me.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Mark!!
