    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...

    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...

    Does anyone use Coturnix quail for dog training? If so do you have any luck getting them to return using a call back pen? Thanks

    They are 1 week old now!!!

    So far my babies are doing great! They are eating, drinking, and pooping like crazy. I can't believe how big they have got, and that they are starting to feather out already. I guess I really don't have a point to this post, but wanted to share my excitement. Hope they look as good...

    1/4" vs 1/2" mesh flooring

    I converted a rubbermade tube into a pen this morning. I used 1/4" mess wire for the flooring thinking that it would be easier on the chicks feet. Is 1/4" still big enough to let the dropping fall into the catch pan? I am using it for chicks until they are around 5 weeks old. Also is 14"...

    My first Hatch!

    Woke up this morning and found that 16 of my eggs hatched over night. The chicks were up walking around and dry. I woke up the kids and we gently moved them to the temporary brooder (an aquarium) . Hope fully a few more will hatch while I am at work today.

    Egg Turner Question

    Tomorrow is day 15 for my quail eggs. What opinions are there on what to do with the egg turner? Should I just unplug it and leave the eggs in it, or should I remove the turner and place the eggs on the bottom of the bator? Also I will take any advice for the hatching period. Thanks

    rabbit cage from TSC

    Has any one used this pen from Tractor Supply? I made my first cage the other night but was not extremly thrilled with it. I am not very handy. It looks like this cage would work great to house 4 quail. Would you recommend any modification to the cage to use it?

    Candling

    Today is day 8 for my 4 bob White Quail eggs. When I candled them 1 had noticible blood veins, 2 had a small black dot with a dark colored mass around it, and 1 had nothing. Does that mean that only 1 egg is working?

    one Large Pen

    As my hatching date approaches I seem to have more and more questions. LOL I was thinking about building a couple of pens (2X3) or (2X4) How many coturnix can I safely store in each? Would it be a problem if I have more than one male in a pen? Also for next spring I am hoping to house my...
