A perfect pip picture! I’m so excited to see the babies!! #quail #coturnixquail

The baby quail, 9 of 10 survived, out of 13 in the incubator (excellent rate), have now largely feathered wings and can jump as high as the top of their brooder crate. #coturnixquail

We now have celadon babies!
Did you know the only difference between traditional egg layers and celadons is that celadons have a recessive gene that creates a light blue egg shell?
Anyway about it, they sure are cute💙

She gave me a fully developed egg today 💙

One of my girls just started laying and she gave me a chance to show what an underdeveloped egg is like.
Time to give her some more calcium 💙

Wire enclosure with six quail chicks and a grey cat peering in from the side. Orange light glow from heat lamp in background with wood shavings on the enclosure floor.
Wednesday morning I went to the local quail farm and came home with six chicks with the celadon gene (e.g. they lay blue eggs). The cats are loving their supervised visits.

As I was checking my 5 week old hens cage, I started to clean some of the old bedding out and found two butt-nuggets!
These are my first two eggs ever and I was surprised since it’s on the early side 💙

I love the different colors my chicks are showing as their first feathers are coming in..looks like this one may be a white tipped wing 🐣

I recently hatched my first mixed feather sexable quail eggs.
I was hoping for a pearl (white and black feathers) in the mix, and as their feathers are developing, I’m excited that this one is looking like it’ll be a pearl! 🐣

Celadon Coturnix Quail eggs are now in the incubator!
Celadons carry a recessive gene that produces these pale blueish eggs and the birds have a variety of feather colors.
