➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

This dummy thinks he is a turkey.
I think he would like to attack me if I got just a little closer.

Not sure if it's called color sexed or feather sexed... But either way.

Everyone has better luck than I do.


Look at these boys.
I think they are Italians.
I don't know.

Dang, I was hoping that someone would tell me I was wrong about the red I'm seeing in all of their chests. They're only 3 weeks old, after all.

If they all look like that, they are probably boys, but it's still possible they will get spots. Usually they go the other way around for me though, looking spotted and suddenly turn into a boy.

What is your friend's goal? Breeding for meat? Or for eggs? Can you hatch another set and give him some girls from the next batch to go with the best boy(s) from this one?

@Texas Kiki do you have this on your google sheet?

Not yet but I can tell you some from memory.

He just wants pets and eggs. I warned him that there were going to be extra roos unless he was astronomically lucky, and he's still not sure what he wants to do with the extra roos. I'm hoping to convince him to let me eat... errr... have them. I would feel bad if he didn't get at least one hen, though.

All six eggs that he gave me to put in with my batch were fertile. The only reason one didn't hatch was because it was malpositioned and just didn't make it out after it pipped down at the pointy end.
