    Day 0 to 3 weeks. My girls aged 8 and 3 have been bugging me to raise quail for a year. I finally gave in. We purhased a Hova-Bator with egg turner from a store on-line. We then won an ebay auction for 45 eggs from a farm in Florida. It was late in the year but we hoped to hatch a few...

    At what age can Ringnecks be released?

    Assuming a person has all of the proper permits for their state, at what age can pheasants be released into the wild? I have read that Quail can be released after 5 to 8 weeks but I have never head of the proper age to release Ringnecks. Thanks

    Brown Coturnix Quail Hatching Eggs 10+extras

    This is my first attempt at selling hatching eggs. So far I have had excellent hatch rates on the test eggs I have given away. The 2 people who tested eggs for me got 11 out of 13 and 9 out of 14 to hatch. I have 3 pens with ratios of 1:4, 1:3 and 1:3. I am getting 8-10 eggs per day...

    Flight Pen Size

    Sorry for asking so many questions, but would 16' L X 4' W X 6' H be a large enough flight pen for 30 Coturnix? Thanks

    Flight Pen Size

    I am looking for recommendations for flight pen size to house either 30 Coturnix or 30 Bobwhites. I would also like to hear what size flight pen would be needed for around 25 chukars? thanks

    Egg Cartons

    I purchased a 15 pack of cardboard quail egg trays from GQFMG. I am disappointed that my Coturnix eggs are too large to fit in it. My quails are laying some jumbo eggs right now and I can't seem to find anything to keep them in. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make the eggs fit...

    White Egg

    I think so. They all look the same except for one female. She looks just like the other coturnix but has white feathers on the ends of her wings.
