You have runner eggs?!? I'd take those in a heart beat

I can't enter them, she was fooling around with the Mallard and the Runner Drake,, who knows what will happen there!
How many eggs do we need to swap because I entered some Quail in the June swap too.

6 will get you by just fine.

Ok, then I'll take the quackers and put up the "six - ish" Japanese Quail eggs if that is ok.

 

[Buster]

That's great! How many and do you happen to have any pics of them?

Sure,
Parents:

Eggs, the last two on the right are Button Quail eggs for comparison on the size mine are laying, all the others are my birds eggs:

My babies:

Right now I have 6, but I haven't been out to visit the pen yet. I have to have 6 for sure for the June swap, but I'll have those easily in a couple of days. So 6 for sure and extra if possible or if someone is patient and wants to wait a week or something.
I should say the egg pic is a couple of weeks old and some of the eggs they are laying now are pretty big.

 

[gamebirdsonly]

so how many eggs would you have in a week?

Thanks for posting those Writer of Words.

Up for grabs now are 6+ japanese quail from Writer of Words.

I honestly don't know, I have 4 hens and 2 males and on a good day I get 4 on a bad none. But I've only had 2 days since they started laying that I didn't get any at all. I won't give an exact number because it would be unethical of me, but if I get two a day for example it might be a pretty safe bet. The ones from I incubated I collected over a two week period and 19 out of 20 still hatched. I have 30 of their eggs in the bator right now that I just put in 4 days ago, (hind-site) lol if I'd only known! If you wanted to I could use the 6 I have for the swap and collect for you over a week or so.

 

[gamebirdsonly]

ok I will take them. and will offer 6 welsummer eggs.

Oh that's not right! That is a breed I really want and I am done incubating when the eggs I am setting tonight hatch. You know that right?
