Quail egg swap

They will pretty much grow as big as you let them. If you over feed them they will get big. Most potbellies are supposed to be around 50 pounds, but it depends on how you feed them, and what their parentage is. I guess people had at one point mixed potbellies with regular hogs to get them bigger, and I guess it worked!

Aww...your mom won't let you? Just tell her they are cleaner than dogs, and they won't eat your birdies, and give her those big (evil) puppy-dog eyes I saw in your pic earlier. I'm sure she couldn't resist!!

What's wrong with your LG? I used mine for my quail, just didn't know what I was doing! Make sure you ask Niki all the questions you can think of!! Not sure if she has hatched any herself, but she is a know-it-all about quail!

lol howed you know it was an LG?? lol.. yeah i have incubated in it before with quail eggs but i got a horrible hatch :\\ i have a (borrowed) amazing hovabator genisis 1588 and i love it and i need one, but it has orp eggs in in ( not for me unfortunatly) so now im stuck between a rock and a hard place and it sucks!! ugh

i really need more eggs.. my male to female ratio is WAY off.. to many males.. and barely any females.. ugh!

Thanks for the compliment

. We just dont have the room for a piggy. The lady who lived her before us had 5 in the house. We found hay everywhere. I know when I move to NC I will have 3 or 4.

Hehe... I saw your post on that coturnix egg thread! How long on your orps? You could always use the LG as a hatcher!!

Potbellies don't take up that much room. You could get like a little doghouse type thing to put in your backyard, and sneak it in when your mom's not looking!

I would have to glue a rug on it and call it a poodle

Just show her how cute they are (my first pic, not the second!

) and beg her real bad!
