Abstract

Fertility in roosters peaks between 30 and 40 weeks of age and declines rapidly from about 50 weeks of age. Low-fertility, aging roosters have a higher density of elongated spermatids attached to Sertoli cells than do high-fertility roosters, but display normal spermatogenesis and ejaculated spermatozoa.

What?

Good Morning!

This is stunning!

Does anyone have a source for very good quality standard bred light Sussex hatching eggs?

How many are looking for these?

It is the year of the light sussex?

The first of my "hatch before the easter hatch" is hatching! these are coturnix quail and I have one button quail still getting fluffy in the incubator and a few eggs pipped. they are so tiny!

Awww...and wait until you see that button by these others, so tiny is right!

Is he a blue tux..or a black..? I am going to show you mine that I did years ago, there is a photo of a blue and white..not sure if this is a Tux? I certainly am not the expert on quail. Just had them for a while for fun. What do you think with the colors..ha..do they have a name?




Edit to say, no quail now, I don't have the space outdoors, I tried this indoors. Thought they would be happy, but, didn't see them that way. It's a good sized cage too.
