Out of the sixteen eggs I had I had 5 left and two hatched today. My youngest daughter freaked. She kept hearing this little peep noise and couldn't figure out what it was and saw the two little babies. she scared me to death. I thought something had done died. It was a priceless moment.

Oh my mom was impressed. Cause I live in the city and I have a relatively small yard. So she was wondering how I had it set up. she liked it. The pig roams and the east side of my yard is for the chickens and the quail are on the south fence. Then all my exotic birds are on cages on the...

Why have you gotten alot of broken eggs. My post office usually calls me when I get chickens this is the first time I got quail eggs. Oh and I called the florida fish and wildlife and you were right if I keep less than fifty I do not need a license.

Dug into that website and did find where you can have less than fifty without a license. So I am set. You have been a lot of help I did go buy that hygrometer thermometer thing the numbers are bigger. Will start making brooders out of the big buckets. I hope this works out. Any more good...

That is what i was hoping to avoid and I am in Florida and the website is not user friendly I will call tomorrow. The quail are for me.

I was searching all night last night how do i found out if i need a license where I am at to have quail or if it is for my own use is it necessary?

had to go find box it is called little giant still air incubator. I hope they hatch. If not I will have to go buy some babies and sneak in the incubator so students won't be disappointed.

bought them from stellargame and they are waiting till after thanksgiving to gather and mail. I hope I will be ok and incubating i have five of my own that should hatch in two to three days. It is one of those styrofoam ones with the turner I know I need to go get that other thermometer you...

Do you think all fifty will hatch? If so I think I will have to build another pen. I have 14 in a cage now that is two levels and it is about four feet by two feet and the bottom floor is about 2 ft high and the top floor is about three feet and they seem real comfortable.

thank you

Great thanks so much the kids willl love this something to keep them interested between Thanksgiving and Winter break. Got heat lights last night have a ten gallon tank. Will that hold 50 if they all hatch? If not I saw a nice big bucket at big lots I will go get that.

Will post pictures tomorrow.

I asked around and everyone I talked to say I can feed them the chickens layer mash. Should I get something different?
