    What made you happy today?

    Examining the silkie chicks. Two of them have four toes per foot, one has four toes on one foot and five on the other, and this one has 5 on each foot! They are very cute little fluff balls.

    Wasnt prepared…. But Im a quail mama!

    Do you have something bigger for their brooder? It doesn't look like there's enough space in there for a warm end and a cool end so they can choose the right temperature for themselves.

    Ah. In that case, if they are feather sexable, you will have an idea at around four weeks old. If they aren't feather sexable, you'll need to vent sex or wait until they crow or lay. Vent sexing works best when they're sexually mature.

    Yep. I'm thinking that they're bobwhites.

    Coleman has amazing customer service. When I was living in the greenhouse for all those months, my Coleman cot started to fray. I'd had it for about 6 months, so I contacted Coleman to see if I could buy a replacement for the cloth part that was fraying since I still had at least another month...

    Those eggs don't look like coturnix. What kind of quail are they? You probably won't have a clue on gender until they're 4-6 weeks old.

    Quail chick mortality

    What is the temperature at chick level in the brooder's warm side? If they're piling up, it sounds like they're cold. What are you feeding them?

    I suspect that the leak is from the filling valve. It's a very slow leak and I haven't found any holes or heard any real leak. It seems that unless you spend a lot of money on an air mattress, they just slowly deflate overnight.

    I have a cot set up in the library. If we need space for two I have an air mattress, but it leaks.

    What is that? It looks like a cross between a moth and a bird.

    Opinion on English/Dotted White

    Your plan will work as long as you make sure to breed only the birds that qualify as jumbo. You will lose the reliability of the celadon production, but it sounds like that isn't a priority for you. You may end up with some hens that lay celadon, but there will be no guarantee that their...

    I was thinking of the ones in CA. I've passed by some of the wind farms, but have never lived near any of them. There are some really good designs, but these monstrosities aren't them. We need power, but we really shouldn't be destroying our world for it. That's one of the reasons I try to...

    Order arrived!

    I wouldn't wait until Tuesday to put them in the incubator. Chances of development start to drop sharply 7 days after they're laid, so the sooner you get them in the better.
