I have some SQ Dark Cornish Bantams due to hatch Wednesday, I was planning on brooding them inside the apartment in the family room. Anyone ever brood chicks inside there house in living areas? I figured if I cleaned the brooder each day it would stay pretty clean, but not sure if its good to...

Do you include infertile eggs in your hatch rate? Lets say I have 10 eggs and at 5 days I conclude that 2 are not fertile and get thrown out. So that leaves me with 8 fertile eggs, and if these all hatch would I have a 100% hatch rate or a 80%? Just seeing how people figure their rates...

Well she died last night. Now to try and find another female

I have a Butler Bobwhite quail that wont stand up. I just got 3 breeding pairs today and this female just lays down when I set her in the cage. She seemed fine when I picked them up at the guys house. The birds were getting beat up by each other. I separated them into breeding pairs when I got...

I have 400 eggs in the bator now

Well I got tired of messing with the cheap foam incubators all modded out with computer fans and humidity drips.... I was getting annoyed with temp changes and only being able to do like 60-70 quail eggs at a time. I broke down and ordered a Dickey incubator Friday and it should be here tomorrow...

Last summer I hatched out some chicks and convinced my landlord into getting chickens. We built a coop and have 6 hens and 1 rooster. The rooster is a Delaware cross, and he is having a little attitude issue. He is fine with me, and I can go in the coop and not have any issues. But the catch is...

1496 - 1 = 1495 Remember that you need to post the previous number, then add/subtract your number and post what it equals! Bryan

Well this was my first serious attempt at hatching! I had 16 out of 22 coturnix quail hatch :) 2 piped and died and 4 never developed. Is this considered a good hatch? It was in my fan modded little giant Bryan

That's one of my favorite ways to eat the quail eggs :) I got 3 jars in the fridge at this moment!

I'm getting about 20 eggs a day now, and have run out of things to cook with them already! There an upcoming swap meet and was thinking of selling some hatching eggs by the doz. I figured id save up 10doz or so and try and sell them. There jumbo coturnix What is a fair price to ask? Bryan

Yes, there not differnt breeds but rather just color strains! Enjoy your new birds! Bryan

I wouldn't worry about it. As long as your not forcing her with 24/7 light I don't see any real risk. The extra strain of laying is very small if any, providing there healthy and have good nutrition

My egg size and shape varies from day to day so I think it would be hard to match the eggs up. If its that important to you than I would separate all the birds into cages to see who's laying.

570+11 = 581

Went to feed the quail this morning and one of my 5 week old coturnix quail was sitting down and eating while the others were bouncing around going crazy. I figured he was just tire, so I just let him be. I came home from work at 4pm and he was still sitting there. I picked him up and he started...

When downstairs just a few minutes ago to turn my chicken eggs, and noticed that 5 or 6 of my quail eggs rocking in there turner cups. I was going to go on lockdown tonight around 8pm as that will be the 14 day mark. Is it normal for eggs to rock a little a few days before they will hatch? I...
