Well, I maxed out all my incubators............284 eggs in all. 5 different species now and I just got 80 more chukar. But for now that is it!
The first batch of eggs should start to hatch early next week and the last eggs ordered should be finished in about 25 days.



Depending on hatching success, I may wind up with about 250 hatched eggs, plus the 250 pheasants Mac will be delivering next week.

Judy and I worked on the brooder pens up at the shop yesterday. We built 4 of them and will put teh wire on them today and make the doors. The chicks will be in the brooder boxes for about 12 day and then go into the heated brooder pens for a few weeks until they are feathered out and old enough to go to their outside pens down by the pheasant flight pen.



I was going to get some more quail eggs, but decided to go with 80 chukar instead..........bigger and more meat!

Sounds good.SInce you are going to do more eating than shooting,make sure you write down all the best cooking style you come up with,especially the Chukar.

Dave, you going to get a little pony and a twine lariat for the big chick roundup?

 

[Dave Parks]

I don't know about any recipes, I think I'll smoke some of them and take the rest down to KFC and let them do'em up for us.....mashed potatoes, gravy biscuits and their cole slaw would be perfect! :^)

I was thinking more in the line of rounding up the shot ones and dropping them into one of those peanut oil filled deep fryers!

We should be getting the next issue (September/October) of SS pretty soon!
