    Things you wish you could say

    I don't know what's changed, but needing 50+ scripts to run properly is a bit scary and ridiculous. (I'm letting 6 run, and the site worked fine until very recently.)

    What made you happy today?

    Someone has to. His parents and I aren't going to last forever and it's not right for him to take his sister's life away. She is at college now and has plans! We need a blush reaction emoji. I just saw a need in my family and stepped in. I may get frustrated as heck with this kid (and I...

    Removing quail from incubator

    It can take up to 24 hours from pip to zip. You shouldn't worry unless the pip is at the narrow end of the egg, or it becomes a hole with no zip progress. If that does happen, keep in mind before you assist that chicks that have trouble hatching usually have trouble hatching because there is...

    24. He's done pretty much nothing but sit on the couch for most of his life. It takes a lot of patience and willingness to work with how he thinks to find ways to do things that work for him, and his mom was just too swamped with earning the money to support the family. I've been working with...

    Removing quail from incubator

    Get them out and into the brooder. You can get them out of the incubator in seconds, which will not be long enough to shrink wrap the rest of the quail. You can pour a bit of warm water into the bottom of the incubator (don't get any of the eggs wet!) if you're in a super dry environment and...

    What made you happy today?

    The Godson actually decided to take responsibility for something. Yesterday when he was over taking 2.5 hours to do a 45 minute task (feed and water the quail), I rescued a male who was getting bullied. I was going to cull him since I didn't want to put him by himself to heal (he was scalped)...

    ID ten T is one I have been known to use. Also, PEBKAC.

    Cheer on my eggs please!

    Did you have a calibrated thermometer or three in the incubator? The pips can be hard to see, but I wish you a good hatch!

    Choosing eggs to hatch?

    That's one of the advantages of raising quail. They start laying as early as 6 weeks. I've had a couple start at 5 and a half.

    Choosing eggs to hatch?

    I would wait until your hen has been laying for at least two weeks before putting into the incubator.

    Did that. Hiccups eventually went away.

    Things you wish you could say

    I remember why I don't drink sodas now and I wish I hadn't drank that 20 oz bottle. I went to the grocery store, and they had dragon fruit Mountain Dew on sale 2/$1, so I thought I try some. Now I have a horrible case of indigestion and hiccups. The hiccups hurt. If I drink the other bottle...

    ⭐ Kiki's Year Long 🌶️

    My Little Miss Figgy doesn't have leaves yet, but there are new buds that are just barely there but growing.

    My birds certainly don't know the difference. I let the chickens out just before the sun comes up and put them in the coop just as the sun goes down. The quail get fed when it's light enough to see.
