    Flight conditioned bobwhite quail

    Look at buygamebirds.com. Someone might be close to you on there. Nowhere near a complete list of breeders, but it's a good start.

    Share your quail videos

    Thanks! I felt sorry for that guy. I noticed last night that it was pipping out. This morning I went to check on it, and saw it had hatched, and the down was dry. I guess he was like that for several hours. He (or she) is doing okay with the rest of the hatch.

    Quail Pens in Chicken coop

    I grew out bobwhites at three weeks old in my chicken run. Not a good idea, but my chickens are on unprotected land and my dogs took too much interest in them. Lost a couple during that time. My chicken flock was isolated for years and generations from the hatcheries so that might have made a...

    How many quail eggs to hatch?

    The breeder boxes I've seen for quail are 10x24x10 and will house 4 quail (two breeding pairs or a rooster and three hens). My breeding pair were in a 24 x 44 pen and I had to separate them because the hen was beating up the rooster when she started laying. I've been trying shipped eggs for...

    As an update to my temperature dilemma...I purchased a used Grumbach S84 analog incubator It didn't have the original mercury thermometer or dial hygrometer, but came with a remote temp probe used for reptile terrariums. Just to try it out I placed some of my refrigerated eggs I was pretty...

    We ended up with an extra large bird. How do you cook such a huge bird?

    Yes, you debone all three but with varying amounts. The chicken and duck are a complete deboning, whereas the turkey you leave the leg and wing bones attached, and only remove the ribs, breast plate and back. That alone to debone the birds took about an hour. With the chicken and duck, I...

    Am I a Narri?

    I bought a mixed batch of poults from Stromberg's back in September. I noted that the packaging had said it was a three breed variety. Two of the breeds were easy, royal palms and bourbon reds. The last I thought were bronze, but now think they are Narragansetts, maybe all females, since the...

    We ended up with an extra large bird. How do you cook such a huge bird?

    Just saw this post- Somewhat related on size I made a turducken one year, which started off with about a 20 lb turkey, 8 lb duck and 4 lb chicken. Added to that was stuffing mixed with venison sausage. Total weight was near 40 lbs. I started off roasting it for 12 hours in the oven at...

    Help!!! Chukar eggs not hatching but can hear them??

    I replied to your pm, and I apologize if it's a bit long winded. I must be buying bad digital thermometers, because the one I have with a remote probe is saying it's over 105 in the bator, but the two sitting next to the eggs are showing around 99-100, the same as the thermostat. Go figure.
