@Kiki I didn't intentionally sit Button eggs, but I got back from a 3+ week vacation yesterday & found a pen full of Button eggs and a Broody Button. This morning 8 hatched, surprise!!!

Just realized how insane this post makes me sound. But in my defense I have done a LOT of poultry subtraction lately, down to the bare minimum of my keepers & layers. Sent 14 guinea to my dads (he was down to 2 d/t hawks), sold 15 bantam and then 30 others a couple months ago, plus some routine...

I've got 20 duck eggs under the duck, 11 guinea eggs under a broody bantam, 43 chicken eggs in the incubator, another 13 chicken eggs under the BCM broody that already hatched out some chicks a couple months ago.... I've got some new eggs coming soon for the other incubator too... (plus some...

Please tell me that (naked neck pigeon) is photoshopped!!!!??? :lau

That's what I figured! It was during the middle of the night for both.

I've got lots of hawks around but have only "so far" lost a guinea to an owl & a duckling to an owl (probably the same owl)...

Oh, please noooooooo!

I ordered some and the next ship date is like July 7th....

I hold them secure until they stop flapping and spasm'ing... but that's just me & my preference. I can control where they bleed that way, instead of it everywhere.

Sharp hatchets do the deed wonderfully, as long as you don't miss and chop something of yours off instead! (never happened)

Will it work for 4 fakers?

I'm curious about "Frick" as well... keep us posted!

We all make mistakes, we all learn from each others mistakes here! :hugs

I grind the feed in a spice grinder until they're a couple weeks old though. I'm just using chick starter on mine right now but I change them to regular crumbles when they go out to the outdoor pens. My pens are 24" tall and about 6 sq. ft. in each pen. Rabbit wire 1/2" hardware cloth on the...

She posted a video of them a few pages ago (yesterday). They're crazy tiny. They'd fit in a coke bottle cap with room to spare. The coturnix babies are probably about double their size, which is about half the size of bantam chicks. In the group picture there are coturnix & my HG bantam mixes.

@Kiki https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/bird/cages-for-birds/you-and-me-finch-rectangle-flight-cage What about this one, too messy?

I like the look of that, but I hate spending that much money. I could make one but it would weigh a hundred pounds!!! Lol🤷🏼‍♀️

I think I'm leaning towards a cage over an overpriced fish tank too. I just did egg~topsies on the 4 remaining Button eggs.... it was not pleasant. The yeller one had a very bad crossbeak & was missing an eye, it had internally pipped. Another one had internally pipped too but all 4 were DIS...

4 eggs left in the bator but no external pips. I'm shocked by all this YELLER in this mini hatch!

Pretty cool set up!
