Dec 21st US Coturnix egg hatch

Dec 21st hatch. My 2nd hatch of chicks from US Coturnix quail eggs from JamesMarieFarms, Louisiana. There were 208 eggs this order, the following hatched: 35/104Jumbo Pharaoh. 14/52 true Texas A&M (jumbo whites), 10/52 other colors (3 that I think are white Golden). 59/208 = 28% hatch rate. Slightly better then the 25% hatch rate of the first 100 eggs I got. Not a bad rate for eggs shipped roughly 3500 km (about 2150 miles) and that spent about 10 days in the mail. I now have about 60 Jumbo Pharaohs between my two US hatches.

Never know! They don't take much space. 2 x 4 will hold 8, 3 males, 5 hens, or 8 hens if you just want eggs.

Maybe one day.....I got my bird #'s down from about 300 birds to now 10 - 20 birds. I did enjoy keeping the coturnix quail but have also got out of them as well. They just make them so darn pretty it's hard to pass up.
