They are coturnix quail. I had to process my first one this afternoon, saw one with a head injury. Very easy. Then I just butterflied it and pan fried it, maybe over cooked it a bit, but it was good.

All 5 on the same day - boy are they well coordinated.

They hatched the same way, checked before bed,nothing. Checked the next morning quail everywhere.

One of my Pavlovskya chicks hatched two days early. I locked them down last night and this morning one of the chicks was out and two more pipped. Sadly the fourth one looks like a late quitter. it was one of those with the big U shaped air cells.

My son and his family arrived this evening. My grandson is an inch taller than me! How did that happen?

For early Pavlovskya chicks.

Enjoy your family visit.

I have Konza Ranger chicks hatching two days early too. Was the Wonky egg cell egg set upright in a carton to hatch?

Have fun with the family!

No I put it in the Brinsea hatching tray with the others.

There is a specialty marked in the Asian Community for all black meat and bones. I could sell a bunch of them in the Bay Area for meat and I think they use them "medicinally" . The price needs to be much lower though.

Ron there is a locap person whp advertises.on cl that has a pure black chicken line they have bred if you are really interested.in all black down to the bone.

I lost my 10 year old EE girl, Snowflake, last night. She's was fine up to a couple of days ago when I noticed she needed help down off the roost. She just faded away. I took her out on the grass and sat with her to say goodbye. She was a sweet hen that I rescued when she was about 4 or 5 already. She laid a few eggs every year, not a lot, right up to about a month ago! The woman I got her from was escaping an abusive husband who was threatening to kill her chickens. I didn't know her but I had to help. All 5 were the sweetest hens. They all had cute names that her little girls had given them. Pumpernickle, Blizzard, Snowflake, Ivy & Autumn. I still have Autumn, the only one left. Snowflake had the biggest head I have ever seen on a chicken. She must have had a big brain and she was very intelligent..

10 years! Wow

From Russia with love! My first Pavlovskya chick! Two more hatched last night and one died without pipping. I bought 6 eggs so a 50% hatch rate is pretty good. I have a few more incubating from a second purchase. Hope to get a few from those too. This is a cute chick. Love the dark beard beard and orange crest!
