On Saturday, Douglas and Brian came to check out the various shapes, sizes and stages of birds. Brian was our original source for Coturnix eggs, and he brought us a few more last Saturday ("a few" being 105!)
Those eggs were promptly put into the incubator!
Then Sunday, my new BFF (Bird Friend Forever) Kristi, brought her husband and girls out to see the place, look at the birds, and check on Bo and Beauty (she hatched them in her incubator last year!) Kristi is currently hatching chukar, peafowl, and a couple varieties of bobwhite. On Tuesday, she and I are getting a shipment of day-old (chicken) chicks. We probably shouldn't hang out together so much! But Kristi brought me something very exciting ...
11 pea eggs!! They went immediately into the incubator, too! So in a couple of weeks, things will start popping around here again. We've got 100+ bobwhite chicks growing in the brood pen, 200+ set to start hatching the 24th, then many more after that. I'm most excited to see how the peafowl work out. Stay tuned for updates!
