My Chickens: How Many Quail Hatched?

Zero.  What!?  You may be thinking, why none?   Well, it turns out the eggs were not fertilized after all. 
WHAT?!?!  Oh, shall I repeat that?  WERE NOT FERTILIZE AFTER ALL!!! 
I just found out today, when I candled them.
By now I should of seen a dark blob or something, but when I candled them eggs, every one of them, they were clear. Clearly empty.  Not even a dot.  Nothing. Zilch.  I'm a little more than a little disappointed.  NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING!    What a way to ruin someone's day.  That someone being me.  Also, the person who gave me the eggs was taking a wild guess that they were fertile.  They're no professional. Oh well. I never really wanted those quail anyway.
The chickens would of picked on them to death.  This is better for everyone. 
Better for everyone.

My Chickens: Big Big Chicks!

The chick are a week and four days old now.
They are so huge!
Deadbirdie jumped out of the brooder when I opened the covering on top. 
And already it's a couple days until the quail egg LOCKDOWN!
I'll have to write about when they hatch. 
I mean, if they hatch.
Gotta love the excitement!

I do hope some hatch, because they're so cute and little.
Quail never get big.




Soon I will write about How Many Quail Hatched.
