coturnix eggs

Hi there! I'm new to quail and starting a micro homestead. I'm starting off with coturnix quail and buttons, and plan to be selling eggs only right now for hatching and eating. I'm filling out all the paperwork and government stuff but I am stuck on prices. I've looked through the threads and...

Hello all... I have some Coturnix quail eggs incubating that are on Day 11 now... I woke up this morning to find that my incubator had turned off (looks like a tripped circut) and the eggs cold. After starting back up the incubator, I candled and saw veining... though one egg (the youngest at...

I’ve actually counted 11 (of 26! 84% of the eggs incubated were still ticking along at the start of lockdown! 🙌🏻) hairline cracks… of COURSE the first obvious pip is at the wrong end though 🙄 Quail chicks: always working hard to die under even the most ideal circumstances! 😅 I’ll keep y’all...

I just found out about this coloration of quail today from southwestgamebirds website: https://www.southwestgamebirds.com/shop/hatching-eggs/cinnamon-hatching-eggs/ Does anyone know of other trustworthy places that also sell this coloration? I may add these to my pet collection in the future IF...

I’m so excited! I was refilling the feeder on one of my quail cages after work today and found this little egg!!! I’m not sure who laid it but it is crazy how happy it has made me.

Silver Homestead is blog I read and she (he?) is doing an experiment on breeding Speckled Blue eggs and says people are trying to breed robin looking eggs. Has anyone on here done their own egg color breeding?

In the future I plan to breed my Celedon hens by I want to get non-siblings. I also would like to expand my collection with a few bblack coturnix. Thx,

Hi there, I just got done with my first quail incubation. We had a guy hatch late, last night. All eight others were born with normal feet. This last guy though, not so much. I was hoping by morning they would have spread out like the others did, but no cigar. I'm reading and seeing a to of...

Hi this is my third post up here so far everyone has been really helpful! So in the picture you'll see some eggs I am currently incubating, Some buttons and some coturnix. Although notice the 2 eggs next to it on the right. One of my hens didn't lay an egg for a day and popped out those 2 the...

Day 18 has closed and day 19 just beginning for cotournix quail in a still air incubator. I didn’t buy the 2nd thermometer until lockdown. And then they were 3-5 degrees off. Of course I bought the wrong one and it can’t be calibrated. Since no hatching I am thinking temp was too low. I see no...

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...

I have some coturnix eggs due to go into lockdown in a couple days. I have two different kinds of quail in the incubator and they have different hatch dates so I made a seperate incubator for lockdown purposes only. My homemade incubator isn't fit to hatch chicks, only incubate which is another...

So my male coturnix has started crowing, and has been for about 1-2 weeks. A lot today I’ve noticed. Should there be eggs soon because of the crowing? How are the two related? Thank you :D

I'm planning to start selling coturnix hatching eggs but can't find any of the nice foam sleeves in bulk. Anyone know where to find them?

Hi all, I have 10 quail eggs incubating for the first time,. Today it's their 16th day and I stopped turning on their 14th day as recommended. I checked the eggs using the light after 1 week or so of incubation and all 10 were developing fine. However none of the eggs have started to hatch yet...

I'm looking to y'alls expertise to help me eliminate some of these eggs, & clean out the incubators so I don't have any explosions along the way. @Kiki @muddy75 @FortCluck @Nabiki @R2elk @007Sean @BantyChooks @KDOGG331 & all BYC candling experts!

Hi again! Boy oh boy have I already posted a lot of questions :rolleyes: But everyone has been so helpful, I thought I'd ask another. I have 10 Coturnix quail eggs in my incubator right now. Today is day 13 and I plan to lockdown tonight. However, I've been noticing a bad smell coming from my...

Hey all, Quail question! I am hatching a few coturnix with the celadon (ce) gene currently. They are all hatching out of blue CE eggs. I am aware that not all quail that hatch from a blue egg will lay blue. I know the bird has to have two copies (one from mom and one from dad?) of the CE gene...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering, could Coturnix Quail be kept outdoors (in Illinois) during winter? They would obviously need some sort of shield to block from wind, snow, etc., but would they need a heat lamp? Any special extra-protein diet? I probably won't be getting any Coturnix for a...
