Nabiki's SSC hatch

[Nabiki]

I plan to take a lot of pictures and see how these guys change as they grow, so I thought I'd start a thread of their own. The first chick has hatched!

Awe can't wait to see the rest!

#2 just finished hatching. I love watching them zip and work their way out of the shell.

#3 is out. I may be going overboard with pictures...

This is actually my 4th hatch, but my first really big one. My first batch was jumbo wilds (25 eggs, hatched 12), my second was falb fee (25 eggs, hatched 11?), my 3rd was an assorted batch (24 eggs, hatched 13), this one is SSC - Silver Schofield Collection (60 eggs). 49 eggs were left at lockdown.

I'm doing this hatch in its own thread because the SSC have a lot of variety, and I wanted to document how they look at hatch until they become adults.

I did a bunch of research before getting a bird for meat/eggs. Chickens were the first obvious choice, but the more I researched, I realized they weren't for me. I live inside city limits, and they were just too noisy and messy for me. I wanted to get some easter eggers at first.

The quail are working out really well for me. I'm very glad I chose them to raise.

Finally another chick has emerged. I expect #5 to be along shortly from the way the egg is rocking. Another yellow one.
