➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[marsmallowthesilkie]

I have Roos that are over a year old and granted I have way too many atm, but no issues with crowing or fertility!!!!

you can never have too much quails

I weighed the boys today, 8 weeks, deciding who to keep since someone was crowing all night long - and one flies off the scale, out the open door (stupid me) and flushes down the hill. I grab the net and run down but the resident hawk got to it first I don't think it was one of my bigger boys at least

I use these water cups for the chicks, they screw into a water or soda bottle. I’ve found until 3 weeks, they have difficulty with the nipples. I have a system where I strap the bottle to the wall with Velcro cable ties, I put the drink end into a plastic bowl so if any splashed out it gets caught and won’t make the bedding wet and smelly. But, using plastic water and soda bottles is tricky because lifting them in and out of the brooder, even gently and carefully, often causes a squeeze and some water spills out. So I’ve opted for a squeeze resistant bottle:

I use those too, but usually wait until they're a week old for those.

I start these at about a week, before that I use the parakeet waterers. At 3 weeks I switch to a pickle container with horizontal nipples.

So far they're all different. One is zipping but may be having some trouble. I'll see how it's doing in another couple of hours.

We play dnd every Saturday night, and people are often bringing booze, so I have a bunch of partly filled bottles of various stuff. I’ve been trying the drinker cups on them all, they fit the Disaronno bottle! I gotta get people to empty it this weekend so I can have the chicks “belly up to the bar” it’ll look so ridiculous.

Purely Poultry. They have reasonable prices. About the only place that had them in stock at the time.

I ordered my very first quail eggs from them and silkie chicks and most of my button eggs
for quail eggs now, however, it’s mainly myshire.....tell Zack that Kiki and I sent you

I set 52 K Dale eggs today. I can’t wait to see what comes out! I suspect it will be really hard to choose which males to keep haha.
