➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

*cheep cheep cheep!*

There’s a baby in the ‘bator!!!!
The itty bitty toes are just killing me
And another one has pipped...

Last year, had 476 eggs in the 3 cabinets at one setting.

That is a LOT of chicks!

Oh my. That is a lot of little poopers.

Yep, 383 hatched. * just did a quick look at my log book.

Yup. I added it after the eggs started incubating though.

The tube is corrugated and expands which then collects water. I noticed water dripped in the bator and changed the setup a little so it's not so much now. More so with the higher humidity for lockdown.

Do you know on average how much the humidifiers run? And do you like it so far?

Two things have me curious.

1. Where do you get that many eggs to start with?

2. What do you do with that many chics?

My cheap butt just puckered at that price! But I think that about a lot of stuff.

From my own birds, I had 253 pheasants last year, I'm down to 151 this year.
Last year I replaced some of the older breeding stock and sold the rest. Had some chicks die off, some got eaten by coons but for the most part I raised the greater majority to 3 or 4 months age and sold them.
Sold all but 3 Red golden males that I still have but have been spoken for but the guy hasn't come to pick them up nor called me either, so their 'forsale' pick up only.

About 130. I did the zippy shipping too so closer to 150 but I would buy another. It is a little bit finicky but the humidity is much more stable than adding manually.

I wrote a review.

Wow, you must have a amazing place. Maybe someday you could take us on a video tour. I would love to see that many pheasants in one place!
