Hey y’all I’m new to hatching eggs and I’m having an issue getting my brooder up to temp. I’m on day 15 of hatching coturnix quail so I’m anxious about not getting the temperature high enough before they start hatching. I have an inkbird temperature probe set up touching the bedding directly...
These cuties don't grow like weeds. They grow like super virus, over taking my heart and infecting me with their birb faces. I'm excited to begin this new self sufficient chapter of my life. Usually I bite off more than I can chew so I'm starting small! It's going to be hard because I can't get...
What would you call that color? I agree that the chick looks like a Pharaoh, but she (I’m manifesting hens to help my ratio! 😂) is DEFINITELY EB, and likely roux given the color of her beak and legs.
My rosetta/Tibetans and my scarlet’s had much less pattern as chicks, only my falb, egyptian...
We have hatched quail chicks and a few I want to mark to make sure I can tell them apart from the rest. Would loosely tying yarn around their feet be a good idea? Thx,
I am looking at getting into raising Coturnix quail in PA but can’t find anything that that mandates the requirement for a possession permit. Only one I see is for Bob White quail. Can anyone help out and provide any information or helpful links to answer this question? Also any rules about...
Hi, I am new here (and new to raising birds in general!) my family is on our first coturnix quail hatch and we’re a bit confused as to how to sex our quail. I was wondering if any of you could help me with sexing and figuring out the color of our quail? Thanks.
They are all three weeks old...
I was given a rescued newborn hatchling California quail. A neighbor kid watched it hatch and waited over an hour with no other hatchlings and no mom. They brought it to me as dark approached and it wouldn't make the night. I have 110 coturnix quail due to hatch out in the next two to three...
Just a silly video of my new quail chicks tonight. Fortunately all 6 have gotten attached and friendly to me, currently love being picked up and snuggled with. Rocky has been proving himself to be the clingiest haha.
Hi all,
Recently I posted about getting button quail eggs for the first time. It wasn’t until someone helpfully pointed out to me that the eggs weren’t that of button quail at all... I can only assume they are actually Coturnix quail instead (got duped in the purchase it seems). My mistake for...
I jumped onto BYC today and the lovely Kdogg (Kelsey) decided she would share a video with me about a broody chicken hatching quail chicks and raising them so that they could free range with the rest of the chickens.
Mrs. Tweedy one of my favorite broodies has gone broody AGAIN for the 2nd...
Hello all,
I had to heavily assist this Coturnix Quail chick in hatching, and now I see why. Her poor little leg is jutting out at an unnatural angle, and I suspect it’s dislocated.
I do have access to veterinarians, as I work with them, however none of them deal with poultry. So I feel like...
Hi! I hatched 5 Coturnix quail chicks. I’d love to know your opinions on if my 20 day old chicks are male/female. Can you definitively tell at just 20 days? One photo is of the five quail chicks chests and the other photo is of the mom and dad which is obvious.
I’ve only been doing this a few...
