First quail egg

We got our first quail egg today, comparing it to a duck egg. I don't know what we'll do with one egg though!! I had to seperate 5 males because they were fighting, poking each others eyes out and other stuff. We have 50 + eggs in the incubator that should hatch next week. My marans didn't hatch very well, 2 hatched and one died right after hatching. The one is doing fine and I have it in the pen with our one eyed brown leghorn pullet.

  1. Hey...really you have a best shot picture on your pets, I had been a backyard quail poultry when I was senior high school. It used to be amusing time taking care 23 quail ! and in return of this, everymorning I picked up some eggs like yours.

    nice to see you
