shamos and thai eggs are in the incubator cant wait ...

cheers ... i candled the others last night the 5 duck eggs are doing well and 5 - 7 of the quail eggs look good but its hard to tell with them tho as there cream with brown spots... binned the rest as they was empty ! my second batch of shamos due in next week end aswell so i can pair them up with the others for next year !

only problem ive got now is the quail eggs a friend bought me at a auction and i have no idea what type they are ? i think different type hatch on different days so im unsure when to lock down !

well i put my quail eggs on lock down day 14 after looking at loads of quail egg photos we decided they was japanese quail , woke up this morning to find 3 have already hatched day 17 ... photos to follow later on

right so i ended up with 5 out of 7 quail hatch witch wasnt so bad i guess ... the shamos and thai's are doing great noticed one had a wonky foot so i despacted that as i thought it might of been ok but as it was getting bigger it was finding it hard to walk ect ! i locked down again yesterday afternoon 2nd batch of unrelated shamos so i can pair them ready for next year if all goes well ...
