The Lochnest We love to share our love of chickens with everyone! Amelia has been in 4-H since 2019. We owned chickens before then.

She breeds Ayam Cemani and I am “creating” showgirls from scratch. Join us for some fun, information, and dont forget shenanigans!

Look at those lil baby quail! Hatch did not go as planned. Typically for me quail hatch day 15 with a few stragglers day 16. They all started hatching last night on day 16 and the chicken chicks also which was day 20. I’ve strategically hatched the 2 together in the past being able to pull quail chicks before chicken chicks start to pip. It didn’t work out this way 🤦‍♀️ but I see no casualties or squished quail. The Hatcher basket is quite large so plenty room. I will have to time it differently next time.

Quail are officially on lockdown! I will be finishing the set up for them this evening after work. I will take another video to show it all ready for them! One thing I do is set up a camera at floor level aimed at the heat plate. I can then monitor whether it’s too high or too low for the first couple hours. Our brooder is built in our main coop.

I absolutely LOVE our silkies! Yes that’s a rooster no these were not hatched by any of these 3. Snowball is my anytime mom and Kandy has not even layed an egg yet and she already takes care of babies. Personally having a couple silkies to show babies the ropes is priceless!

Just some chick therapy this morning! I cannot love these houses anymore! I have another I will be adding this evening as they are growing and need more space for warmth. It’s been warmer here (and in the coop) that they do spend quite a bit of time running around.
