we are just hopeing they hatch first and I really have not got my pens build yet because It is cold and ......ummm I am broke. But I hope to have areas in the pens we currently have for them until they need more space!! I want to build a quail hutch on the side of my pheasant pen as soon as I am able too!! But momma said I could start by build a brooder in my room in the closet, if I cleaned it out!! Thats where the incubator is at right now!! I need to read up on quails more i know, but I wanted some to eat later, so about 18 weeks, is what I understand. Pheasants I want a few to eat and some to sell to friends who want to hun them on their land, but I don't know yet on that!
Hey I hear little peeps peeps through out the day, I must have counted wrong cause I thought my chicks should been here the 7 th and I was worried I wasn't gonna get any to hatch and then the pheasants are right behind them and then the quail yeah!!!!!!
This morning I had 2 more total of 4 now and they are moving other eggs in the bator so I moved them to the brooder (tote box with light) and here is a picture
None have featherson their legs So I don't know what they are, I am guessing not cochins. Which is what i was hopeing for!!!
