I used to breed my own rats, crickets and woodies. But medical problems have prevented me from continuing that.

I breed my own Jap Quail. When running at full capacity I can pump out around 200 every 18 days. I also breed crickets.

I've got a 3KW system on the roof but bills are still high :(
 
how many breeder quails do you have

Around 30. They normally lay an egg a day. When they slow down and if the freezers empty I buy fertile eggs from Quail Kingdom on line for $5 a dozen. I've often wondered if it's even worth keeping the breeders alive when you can buy the eggs that cheaply. I've got five incubators with automatic turners that hold 48 eggs each. Out of the 240 eggs around 200 or so hatch in 16-17 days.

Yep :) They sometimes lay in groups but just scatter them for the most part. They won't brood at all so an incubator is a must. You can store the eggs for up to a fortnight before setting them as long as you can keep them around 15 degrees, which could be hard where you're from :)
