Possible Guinea Eggs in "Quail" Batch?

[Cheyen]

I haven't seen it, but I would assume it looks a lot like a chicken.... Only a LOT smaller.

Granny I think you should keep the silver/grey chick and definitely the one with blue eye you can name it Sinatra and then frank if a roo and nancy if a pullet. Are you still hatching or all done and what ended up as the final count.???? My chicken math is starting LOL was going to order just 25 chicks from Cackle in 3 breeds then called them today and they said that there is no problem in shipping 30 chicks. Thinking 12 Australorpe 12 silver laced wyndotes and 6 easter eggers. All puttlets because I know how my luck runs will end up with many roosters anyway. I think I 'm gonna just let my brahma's raise their own replacements. I know fot sure the Gertrude is ready to raise at least one batch.

definitely,they are the nicest. i have 22 chicks, 4 eggs still in the bator with 2 i know is alive, i didnt check the other two. if i could of kept my paws off of them i do belive i would of had a really good hatch rate. there were only two that died by themself, i helped the other two along. sounds like im stuck on two. lol on a very rare occasion do i name my chickens. no way i could remember that many. if your hatchet is bouncing its the surface your using it on.try softer wood. love chicken math !!!!

Came home from Pete's grandma's to find 3 eggs in the box. Makes me happy about that at least! Their first eggs... almost like they knew!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

what are you going to do with them? are they from the ones you cleaned this morn?

 

[teradragon]

Going to eat them! These are from the quail I am keeping. 3 ladies and a roo. Glad I sexed them correctly. If the quail taste good tomorrow I may set some to incubate in a couple of weeks. Don't know if I can go through the trauma of dispatching little birdies if they don't taste good though!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

they looked good. you skinned them though, so no fat. i would like the skin on and baked crispy. seem like they would be more tender like that

 

[teradragon]

I plan on wrapping them in bacon and stuffing with sausage meat. I read that quail skin tears easily and plucking them can just end up tearing the skin anyway. As a noob to the whole processing an animal, I thought skinning was the easier, quicker option. I had to limit the unpleasantness!!!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

now that sounds really good !! when is dinner??

 

[Granny Hatchet]

they are advertising a talk show on tv about how to have the best looking booty you can have. can someone please explain to me why in the world would you care what your butt looks like? a whole hr. show about your butt. really?

Say teradragon if the meat is tuff you can soak it in milk will also help pull any excess blood or gaminess out of the meat. At least that works with the wild game that I have shot and cooked. You can't go wrong with bacon in or on anything... salted water will work also. Use that on grouse. Is quail mainly dark or white meat??
