What are your experiences and comments about D & B gamebird farms? I ordered 25 Tibetan quail eggs and am on day three of incubation. When they came, one was cracked but they gave me two extra so it made up for the loss. I'm curious about their hatch rates. Thanks.

Those are some beautiful chickens! I also have EE/americana mixes that are 7 weeks old today, and the Roos already have big combs, so, just a guess, your chickens look like mainly pullets. But I am new to chickens, so I might be wrong. Have any started crowing yet?

Aw congrats:)

Congrats! I hope she hatches some chicks!

Congrats! I got my first quail egg yesterday also- that must mark the beginning of spring!

I have a hovabator. Works great!

I have two coturnix quail so far. Will be hatching more soon.

Congrats! They are adorable :)

Congrats!

Chicks can survive for 48 hours without food and water-but to avoid stress you could take him out. He sure is cute:)

So exciting! Your chicks will be lucky birds-it sounds like you really care about them:) I love hatching chicks too it's so fun and rewarding. Hope that you have a great hatch:)

Ok interesting:) it sounds like quail like more natural "nest boxes". Thanks Kylesquails for the tip:)

Thanks everyone for the helpful advice and pictures!

Hi everybody! I'm going to have some laying quail soon and am wondering what to use for nest boxes. Is there any way I could buy them? What are your recommendations?

There is a chance that they survived. Here is a link that might be encouraging: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/740465/incubator-went-up-to-103/40 Hope they're ok and you have a great hatch!
