Hi everyone, its been a while so thought I would just pop in and say hello , and just for fun here's a video of what it looks like letting our 8 week olds out in the morning, crazy bunch of chooks lol

don't stress @OrangeGrove we had a terrible hatch our first 2 attempts, also thanks too Eskom , our last hatch we ended up with 130 fuzz balls out of 150 eggs , it will come lol, o by the way , if anyone is interested I have 120 koekoeks at 4.5 weeks old lol

darn now i'm sorry I didn't see this sooner lol

o ok, I just made those out of polystyrene , but we buy chicken egg trays from a local packaging company , they sell pretty much anything like cups and boxes and plastic knives and forks etc , works out too about R1.97 for a box for a dozen eggs.

Hi @OrangeGrove , not sure if you were asking about the quail egg trays lol

So just for interest sake , here is a pic of an egg tray I made for our quail eggs , works out to about R1.60 packaging for 18 eggs which I thought was pretty good.

Hi @Macksy sure it will all come together soon , looks like your chooks are Def giving you endless hours of entertainment.

Hi @OrangeGrove and welcome , you have Def found all the chicken nuts lol , welcome

Heritagechickens.co.za has Orpington but I am waiting till budgies2bantams gets some , they have a breeding group and are cheaper so I'm waiting till they hatch some.

wow that's impressive , felt like forever when it took our koekoeks 28 weeks to start laying. the Quail on the other hand take 4-6 weeks, our new ones are already dropping eggs all over the place.

We have had a few problems as well like a rat that killed a few chicks , hammy (the bush pig) has been digging up all over and breaking fences , but we still have tons of broody hens sitting on eggs an a whole lot more that are busy hatching again today so busy busy lol

now just too put up fencing, put in a gate and netting over the top then the quail will have a new home
