A decision needs to be made today…to incubate or to not incubate….

Last year I started my quail journey and I really enjoyed them. They laid 1,500 eggs for me last year and I had so many babies! But then in the winter I lost 95% of my flock. It was devastating and I decided that I would keep my remaining three birds and once they were gone I would have a new pen for chicken breeding. Then suddenly I started getting quail eggs…and I have an empty incubator.

So help me decide if I should incubate some quail eggs or to just enjoy The Chaotic Coop with three quails and too many chickens.

Who are you taking home to your flock? 💚💖🧡🩵

🥚 Time to close out the hatch! 🥚

I did not get any Fibro Easter eggers this time but a lot of fun multi generational olive eggers (most of the white with black spot babies) We did have a shrink wrapped baby it has been hatched for 12 hours and is dry 🖤 I am very excited to see how these babies grow up 🐣

🧚‍♂️ Fairy eggs🧚

In the first picture, I have two fairy eggs, a first egg from one of my project pullets and a year-old hen's egg.

Fairy eggs are tiny, usually yolkless eggs laid by chickens. They can have yolk or not and they are very small. They happen when a hen's reproductive system accidentally skips releasing a yolk and encases just egg white in a shell. Usually, younger hens or older hens will lay fairy eggs, but they can also be caused by stress or improper nutrition.

So, who do I think is laying fairy eggs and why? Well, the larger fairy egg was laid by an EE pullet on 5/23. I had been watching her to see what color she would lay, and unfortunately, it was cream. She has since been rehomed, which leaves the smaller, dirtier egg. I found it late last night in the run when I was making sure everyone got to bed. It was not in the laying area, so there are no cameras to spot the layer. I do not know how long it has been there or who laid it. But if I had to put money on it, I would say it was Gertrude. Gertrude is my 5-year-old naked neck hen, and she has a bit of a fairy egg track record. We had a bit of a heat wave last week, and Mrs. Gertie does not like the heat. The last two years, when it gets warm, she either stops laying or lays a fairy egg!

With that being said, I will keep an eye out for more fairy eggs, and if we keep having this issue, we will revisit stressors and other causes for fairy eggs!

Lots of babies around here, including our new 8 white broad breasted poults! Our 6 bronze babies we got in March are also looking nice! I have a feeling at least 3 of them are toms🤭

We will keep all the girls we have and two of the best tempered and best looking toms. The remaining toms will be processed just in time for thanksgiving! 🦃

My wish came true and I got my homozygous crested cream legbar boy! If everything goes according to plan here in about 7 months he will be covering my five cream legbar hens, three black copper marans and for fun maybe an olive egger or two!

He needs a name, a couple names I have thought of are;

💙Ricardo
💚Alonzo
🧡Gerardo
🩶Raúl
🩵Santiago

I am also open to other name suggestions!
