Possible Guinea Eggs in "Quail" Batch?

[Granny Hatchet]

was she a big hen? i dont remember. if so then my bantams will come, then your big one then my big ones. just like before !!! we had that timed just like that with the last batch when yours and mine were no good. hope we have better luck this go-around.

She's a standard sized hen. She's a golden sex link, so it's pretty surprising that she's gone broody.

Well, back to square one. Can't figure out how I would heat an outdoor aviary, so looks like coturnix may be in order instead of buttons. By the way, do guineas come in different colors?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

are you sure you need heat? what state do you live in? guineas come in a few colors. just a guess about 16 . i have blue,slate,pied,pearl,white,chocolate and i dont know. lol you should try to spend some time with guineas before you get any. they are a bird of a different sort, for sure.

I live in western Washington. The finches don't need heat (I have them heated only because it's REALLY cold right now), apparently, but if I wanted to get button quail, they need 60+ degrees at all times.

Huh, didn't know they came in different colors. I think I may have to go see some in person.

thats a big difference. to fragile for me !! guineas, people either love them or hate them. lol they are loud, ugly headed, pretty bodies caricatures.the eat ticks, any bug really, fend for themself mostly and are pretty funny. hard to tame and creatures of habit.

Yes, I'm at school, lol. We've mostly got free periods today because of midterms. I'm able to talk to you a bit.

How loud are they? I don't think the neighbors would mind, but... Never know.
