I raised quail just for eggs and usually whenever I incubated certain number of eggs I will get only 50% of female, example, if I put 1000 eggs usually I will get almost 50% female and the rest of it I will sell at cost price whenever they reach 30 days old. Is there any way to set 1000eggs...

BSF larvae have a thick skin and my 4days old quail won't eat it, I did try before, only matured quail will eat it. If the larvae turn into cocoon the skin will be harder and even my matured quail won't eat it. That is why I am using houseflies instead of BSF. I have been feeding my quail...

I think if you want to raise quail for meat or want to slaughter it on 40-50days old, then no need for high protein. It will be waste of money. Just give them normal chicken starter 20-22% protein.

How about housefly maggot? I put all broken eggs and dead quail into a bucket, hang it and put bigger bucket under it. Lay/splash some flour into big bucket to prevent maggot from climbing out. Harvest it every day and stop on 10th day. After that destroy/bury all the remaining of small bucket...

Hi, I tried using crushed seashell for a week but I still got 15-30eggs out of 700eggs. I got 1k of female n 200 male put in 24 unit of 4 storey pen, 48"x18"x10" each pen. Previously I tried adding some limestone powder into the feed but the result is still the same. In my place there is...

Hi there, What is the minimum amount of protein should be given to breeding quail? I just found one feedmill that are able to cook 1ton/cooking session. Before this no feedmill want to cook for less than 5ton. Previously I gave chicken starter that contains 22% protein but after 1 year most...

Just to share my costly experience about lighting effect to quail. This happened to me about a month ago when I unintentionally instruct my worker not to turn on the light at night. The natural light is from 7am to7pm more or less, may be maximum at 13hour/day. My egg production went down...

I'm from Malaysia. At the beginning we sell big birds range from 200-250gram each but since the market is already familiar with smaller bird we have a hard time to sell ours. Most of big buyer like restaurant and traders prefer smaller birds.

The demand is low for bigger birds

I'm selling frozen quail meat in my country. Usually we get 160-200gram of meat from 28-32 days old coturnix that we slaughter, some 5% less than 160g and 5% more than 200gram. With no head, inside organs and no feet, only carcass with skin. Weight of live quail before slaughtered is around...

From my 1500 parent coturnix, there are about 5-10 hens weighted 600gram above, age 6 month. But their egg production is below average. Majority of the hens weight is about 400gram above. Just to share to anyone who wonder if they exist or not

Just to share, My cortunix weigh 300-330gram live in 5week and usually will reach 350-400gram in 8week, there are few that really big that I can hardly grab it with 1 hand, may be overweight. I'm from Malaysia, raising quail 5000-6000 birds/month for meat, usually slaughter them after 4th...

Thank you for the reply, I will start with 20, 5 male n 15 female, and see how it goes.

I have 2'x4' cage, usually I put up to 40 corturnix until they grown up to 6 weeks old, then slaughter them. But due to inconsistent supply of day old chick I intend to breed and incubate the egg. I think 40 will be too crowded, how about 30, 5 roo and 25 hen? Is it ok?

When my cotunix chick have spraddle leg, I put every one of them in small glass or cup with paper towel or cloth flooring inside it. Leave it for few hours, it will strengten their leg because naturally they will try to push themself out of the glass, the glass prevent the leg from spreading...
