LOL, just taking a break.Nice! How many poults did you end up with?
I just stopped back in to say I just checked my quail eggs to decide whether to lock down tomorrow morning or wait till after work. There are a couple that concern me, but judging by majority, I'm locking down 16 in the morning!
Amy, your birds look great. I'll post some pics of mine tomorrow, and tell ya about the hatches I did while you were snobbing us.
Yes, he is a big and heavy bird. All the girls in there are pretty much standard size and he at least doubles them...lol He's a big boy.
Too cute! OH says ours aren't that active though... :/
Nice job!!And in a moment of narcissism, here's the last two cakes I did...lol
Please, be VERY narcissistic... we could use a change of pace from the usual one... 
5 poults... and 5 more eggs developing in the bator...Nice! How many poults did you end up with?

Mine are normally lounging around. But games and exercise are good for them. Broccoli was a new "toy" and after they tired out, I shredded it up and they devoured it. Word of advice, start them on greens very early.
I think this is parade worthy!!
Welcome back Amy!
So, what's been going on with everyone? I see WV is doing Quail.
Frosty is still inside. I'm pretty sure the majority was right and it's a boy. I think I heard him crow in between the barking/yapping sound that I think is him making. I also have Peep inside because after my polish mix beating the crap out of him and I sent him off to the Amish, Elvis started antogonizing him too. So he will get his own mini quarters in the run this spring. Not sure how long he's going to be with us. His leg problems seemed to be doing so good once he was out in the coop then after the others picking on him, he just seemed to go the other way, but we will see.
Plan for this spring is to add a small silkie house. Ruby is going to send me some of her eggs and I am going to breed pure silkies and hopefully at some point, SG's and my Spitzes. I now have just one roo for each coop and going to keep it that way-it's so much easier than dealing with the testosterone. So all birds out of coop one will be mixes and all birds out of coop 2 will be fathered by the Spitz roo, so most will be mixes and my spitz's eggs will be pure. I plan to hatch out some more Spitz if the girl still has them, cause I only have one hen. So I will pull half a dozen mixes probably to sell and have a few more pures in there. Then I will have my silkie coop. That is the plan anyway.
Oh yeah!!!
Yay!!!!! Glad we are back together!!
That's great!!! I have some SLP crosses in the bator now. Coming up on day 5...most of them were over 3 weeks old and a few were refrigerated. And only 3 fresh eggs. So 11 eggs total. We shall see what happens!!!!
Good luck!!! Can't wait to see how many you get.
I am heading to bed soon. Happy to see everyone again. If K comes on later....&.
