YET ANOTHER SLOW NIGHT IN QUAILVILLE... SET ABOUT MOVING EGGS A LITTLE WHILE AGO AS I LOCKDOWN AND HATCH IN A SEPERATE STILL AIR HATCHER SINCE I SET STAGGERED HATCHES ALL THE TIME IT'S EASIER THAT WAY... CHECKED ALL THE BATORS FOR TEMP/ HUMIDITY, WEEKLY WATER ADDS ARE DONE... JUST FOR GIGLES I CHOSE TO CANDLE SOME RINGNECK PHEASANT EGGS I SET CHRISTMAS DAY--- 8/9 COOKING RIGHT ALONG!

1 DUD OUT OF 9 PHEASANT EGGS LAID DURING THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS! PRETTY IMPRESSIVE (TO ME AT LEAST) AS THEY SHOULD NOT EVEN BE LAYING... AND I SAVED EGGS FOR A TOTAL OF 7-8 DAYS TO GET THIS BATCH SO SOME WERE GETTING UP THERE IN AGE. ALL IN ALL I AM QUITE HAPPY... WITH A LIL MORE LUCK I WILL HAVE A BROODER OF BABY RINGNECKS ON OR ABOUT 1/20/11

ALSO HAVE A SMALL BATCH OF BOB EGGS DUE 1/16 THAT ARE 100%.... NOT A BAD EVENING

Not at all, I hope they hatch. I am setting some more coturnix eggs on Wedsday. I found a better place to put my fleet of coolers so now it might work a bit better. I will use my LG one more time.

Robo Why Dont You Just Replace The Thermo Control Unit In That Thing? You Can Buy Them On Ebay... I Mean I Know Lgs Are Lacking For Gamebirds, But A Working Bator Is Better Than Nothing Right? And You Can Always Find A Use For A Back-up Bator If Only Hatching Chicken Eggs From The Yard Birds...

Our eggs we bought are in my friends 'bator. They are due the 21st... CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

5 eggs so far from my little quail girls today. Another monstrous egg, hovering between 18 and 20 grams on my scale (it's a digital & weighs in two gram increments). I didn't crack the 20 gram egg, but blew it out instead, so I don't know if it was a single or double yolker.

Hmmm. I need to remember to go downstairs and catch the loose quail...
Why is there a quail loose in my basement, you ask? Because they are spoiled rotten and like getting out of their wire bottomed cages to take a sandbath in a plastic sweater box!

Otherwise, not much happening in Quail land here...
