I am letting them be, hoping that they just need recovery time... but, the majority of my flock is old, and seems to be egged out, so, Having more than 2-3 eggs a day would be nice.

Hatched out last fall, so, 8 months or so?

Haha, true. I bought mine from a breeder, but from the "assorted" cage... so, a mix 9f everything.

It is definitely interesting as each batch is different, and each breeding gives different combos.

Thanks for the IDs. I knew some of them, the M/F I'm still learning, though #6 I was pretty sure was male due to the darker head. Definitely getting lots of the gold and red tones mixed into them.

Thanks, me too! Every hatch I do, I get better and better mixes. The joys of not worrying about your breeding pairs :D

Got a bunch of unique and New (to me) colours in my most recent hatch. They're growing into their colours quite nicely. I have mostly no idea whether they're Male or Female... one or two I have ideas. These are just a sampling from the 26 in the last clutch.

I did a search but wasn't really finding my question: All my ladies, and roos, seem to be molting.... they have lots of clean feathers, but there are a ton littered around their pens. Most of my hens aren't currently laying, and haven't for several weeks.... they also keep shoving all their...

I had less issue eating it... more with the killing... For first taste: definitely a different meat, tougher than chicken. Would be nice slow roasted.

So, I just butchered my first quail. I was planning on it eventually, but tonight it became necessary. As my newest hatch was getting older, I moved the hens into a pen with a solo older rooster... Discovered this evening when I got home that the rooster (named Duck) had quite savagely...

Coturnix Quail, yes.

No.... if it's a hen, I'll keep it. If not, it goes to freezer camp. About 4 weeks old here.

That's what I thought I did.... all I did for this post was paste the BB code. Edit**** I copied the wrong code, that's my fault. Should be fixed now.

Entry for me
