We have two Bobwhites in the aviary, a male normal mutation, and a female white mutation. It would be nice if they could nest this Spring, but we don't know what sort of place they'd like to nest. We also don't know what sort of nesting material they favour (just straw?). Are there any other...

Just wondering which of these is the best.

We have a pair of Bobwhites. 1 is a normal male (Alpine) and the other is a Mexican Speckled female (Maple). I think they are like a Ring-necked pheasant pair, as Alpine is rusty coloured and highly patterned and Maple as sandy coloured and speckled. They recently took a great interest in the...

I own a Coturnix Quail called Fern, who we have had since last autumn. Back then in autumn until quite recently, Fern never let the males mate her. I'm wondering if she may have been younger because when more recently she has been letting the males mate her, some unusual bluish celadon eggs have...

Our white bobwhite recently made a nest out in the aviary, under a willow hut thing I made them. She had laid two eggs in it but the rabbits found the nest and started digging in it - they didn't know it was a nest, they just like digging. The eggs were then buried under some straw and plant...

Which sorts of chicken would you say have a nice temperament, are good layers and look nice. I saw that leghorns look nice and lay about 300 eggs per year, but can be unfriendly, what would you say? If they are raised from chicks, will they be friendly? :jumpy

Hello!:jumpy Not sure if I'm doing it right, but we'll see! Right now the incubator is full, an Osindii 8 eggs incubator. We have 2 bobwhite eggs in there and 6 coturnix. 5 were put in on the 15th of Feb. 2 on the 16th and 1 on the 17th. We turn them regularly and their humidity seems to be...

We have some quail eggs that we would like to incubate and hatch. They are all from the quails that we have in the garden and so might not be fertile. They are all in an Osindii egg incubator and are upright, pointy end down - wondering they need to be turned. Also just give any tips on eggs.

I have joined BYC to ask questions about our 18 quails! I am hoping one day we will be able to get chickens and I am hoping we will get bobwhite and coturnix chicks!!!! :wee Bobwhites Alpine (mine) - Nutmeg's mate ~ Normal Lancelot - possibly Crocus's mate ~ Mexican Speckled Quentin - has...

My male Normal Bobwhite actually NEVER does the bobwhite call! I was wondering if he has made his own up, or copied and changed the female's call? Can they so this? They are meant to sound like: "Bob-WHITE" but Alpine does it more like "wow-WIT"?? Also do Bobwhites need breeding...
