Texas A&M Hatching!

[BobwhiteQuailLover]

They WERE due on March 3rd. but hatched early

I have 3 now, with almost all pipped!

I read one place that male a&ms have a black spot on their head? Is that true?
UPDATE: We have 6!!

No, the spots do not tell you gender.

Thanks!

UPDATE: We have 6!!

Congrats on the hatch! I am looking for Texas A&M fertile eggs in Atlanta, or a reputable mail source. Where did you find yours?

A friend of mine got some of these from Stromberg's and the meat was not "white" as claimed and most of the quail died within a few weeks

OK..

The one pound white meat coturnix is a myth. Around here we call it Moby Quail. I like to call it Captain Ahab's fish supplement, about finding someone for eggs there are many people on here who have great stock. So why order from a big hatchery when you can buy from here?

Congratulations on your hatch, it sounds like you're doing well. Let us know what the final count is.

Still 6..
