I have to remind myself not to do that because I don’t want to change the batteries :gig They do make good flashlights though 😃

I’m jealous, I haven’t hatched since QuailCon 😩 I have a whole pen of culls to go through before I can even think about hatching again 😬

It’s very tempting some days 😂 No, because they actually waste about half as much food in there as they do in the winter cages, and since I don’t have a barn cat anymore, less food = fewer mice to deal with 😁 If I could get the dang water system working I’d use them year-round, just probably in...

I finally got the barn cleaned out and most of my birds moved back into the HatchingTime cage. The water system must have frozen again right before I moved everyone for the winter - I filled it and water started pouring out of the plastic pipes 😂 I have them (hopefully) fixed, so I just have to...

Reminder to double check your auto feeders 😅🤣

Thanks everyone! That is true 😂 That’s why I put him in the hen pen, I figured it would be easier to find him again if he was a rooster after all 😂

Thank you! This one had me very confused 😅

Egyptian Fee - hen or roo? I’m separating the growouts from my QuailCon hatch today. I have this one in the hen pen for now, but I really can’t tell. It’s not as speckled as the definite hens, but it has more speckles than the definite roos.

Wow that’s horrible! 😲

I do the same thing! My birds love candy display boxes, like the ones Halloween candy come in.

That’s awesome that yours are friendly! Mine was a Bourbon Red. She was generally unfriendly, but she would go broody every spring, making it ten times worse 😂

So sorry you had to deal with all this! :hugsThat’s exciting you get to build an aviary now though! I’m jealous lol 🙂Turkeys are mean little buggers, I had to rehome mine because she would regularly draw blood 😬

Both an hour away - in opposite directions 😂

Thanks! I’ll stop by the hardware store today and see if they have any. I know they still had bags of play sand outside the last time I was there, so maybe they’ll have some peat moss as well.

@Kiki do you just use potting soil in the boxes? I was thinking about doing something like your setup for winter, so everyone has their feet off the wire, and I don’t have to move anyone…

Thanks! 😊 Surprisingly 6 out of 7 eggs in the Amazon incubator made it to lockdown :eek: I don’t know how many hatched though, I didn’t think to mark them when I moved them to the LG:oops:

I had 3 different incubators going, my Brinsea Mini Advance 2, my Little Giant, and one of those cheap 7-egg incubators from Amazon. I had to hand turn the eggs in the 7-egg and LG, and I moved everything from the 7-egg into the LG at lockdown so that I could maintain temp and humidity for...

Final numbers for my QuailCon hatch! I set 30 Pansy Fee and 30 Egyptian Fee eggs, 45 chicks hatched for a 75% hatch rate!

1st QuailCon chick for this year!

We have pips! :wee:jumpy
