Here are the growth charts. All birds in same brooder!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We started weighing on 8-1-17 at 3 days of age and every 7 days after. Weighed all birds and divided by amount living. As of day 10 no fatalities \ud83d\ude42 This period is using total weight of both sexes as we can not distinguish the 2!<\/p>\n

Quail growth and Weight gain in our first hatch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As of 8-17-17 we have not had any mortalities ! They are almost big enough to tell the sexes apart and we will start following the weight gain by sex and breed.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong><\/span> As of week 3 it seems that the whites are falling behind on growth!<\/pre>\n
NOTE:<\/span><\/strong> on 8-15-17 we moved the hatch to regular pens with 1\"x1\/2\" wire bottoms. They were a little hesitant to move around for a few hours and we also introduced them to the new watering system. This is a shock to them as they lost their racial diversity and some heat from the heat lamp in the brooder. We hope it does not effect the weight gain.<\/pre>\n
NOTE:<\/strong><\/span> On 8-17-17 we moved the birds outside where nights are about 85 and days are 90. Again, we hope for no slowing of growth but anticipate it.<\/pre>\n
Here is a short video showing this hatch compared to another hatch a week later!<\/p>\n
