Hi all

I have just been informed that my quail eggs have hatched. Roger has seen 8 or 9 babies trailing around after their mum and dad; I can't wait to go home to see them! :razz: :razz:

Excellant news Laura, well done.

They are really cute! the parents are doing a fantastic job of keeping them out of site!

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Laura,

Great news, well done mate!:grin:

Could I please place the first order of a hen from you?

Paul.:wink:

[laurab]

Hi Paul

You are first on the list :razz:

[chris]

great news,


Good luck with the chicks, i can't see as there will be any problems from now as CPQ are good parents. mine are sitting yet again, let's see if i can match your 8 chicks:grin:

Chris;-)

[PAUL HEARN]

Good one Laura,

Thanks mate!:grin:

Paul.:wink:

[laurab]

Here are a few of the babies with their proud father.

[chris]

at a guess i reckon you've got one normal, and 3 pearl out of those 4 chicks. the normal i'm certain of but i'm unsure about the pearls. good luck with them, i hope to be seeing more pics of parent reared CPQ soon:grin:

Chris:wink:

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Laura and Chris,

Laura, Lovely shot of the proud Dad and some of his chicks.:wink:

Chris, now you have guessed the Mutations starting from what appears to be a Normal and going around clockwise, could you please tell us the sexes of each of the youngsters in the photo?:grin:

Paul.:wink:

[PAUL HEARN]

Hello again Chris,

It's been quite a while now since I have bred the various CPQ Mutations, but I'm going to hazzard a guess that the chicks in the photo are one Pearl and three Blue or Blue Pearls?

If when the chicks gain their feathers I'm proven wrong I will post that Chris Dunn is the CPQ God!!:grin:

Paul.:-)

[chris]

i didn't think you could tell apart the sexes untill they mature:? although i have noticed white masks on a few of my chicks in the past.


Chris:wink:

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry mate I was pulling your thingameejig on the sexing question.:grin:

Paul.:grin:

[laurab]

Hi all


I think my CPQ chicks are about 18 days old now and I have counted at least four that are showing the bib markings of a male :razz:

I hope there are some hens Paul :-?

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Laura,

I'm sure there will be a few hens from the chicks you have, I do say that with my fingers crossed though.:grin:

I will pop over after work tomorrow to check out the youngsters.

Paul.:)
