sorry my internet went out for a couple days here so i havent been able to get on. But i only have 1 chick left now but it is doing great. I guess the others where just to weak. Oh well i guess it is time to try again. Getting ready to order some eggs from quaillady so i look forward to hatch...

am going to try the food in the bottom of the brooder that sounds like it would work out good. It cant hurt to try it anyways. Thanks for everyones help this is all new to me this is my first time hatching quail i have a few adult birds that i got about a month ago. And i just loved them every...

i lost another one today i only got 2 left now. They are eating and drinking good the brooder temp is at 100 to 102. I guess they are just weak chick because of the hatch taking a long time. Oh well going to be putting somemore eggs in the bator hopefully next week.

yeah these chicks are from the batch that was really late. I put in the 100 watt bulb and took out the 60 watt bulb the brooder is at 100 to 102 now. They seem to like it better.

Ok thank you i look forward to hatching some of your eggs

i took some photos of them but i cant get them to upload from my phone. I guess i will have to wait until i get home to upload the photos. I am curious about there color. They are gold and black striped

i lowered the light alittle more now the temp is up to 99. They are more spread out in the brooder now than they have been

the brooder is in my bathroom so it is draft free. I have aspen shaving in the bottom of the brooder. The temp in the brooder is 90 f. I am not sure of the color of the chicks but they are gold and black. Kind of look like a calico striped cat. Lol

i dont know what i am doing wrong i had 7 quail in the brooder a couple days ago and they are dieing off. 1 died the first day, 1 died the second day and 2 died yesterday. I have only 3 left in there now. They have plenty of food and water. The brooder is a storage tote from walmart with the top...

i am about to go and look at her website right now. lol i need some new blood in my pens.

i am looking for a couple dozen eggs. how much are your eggs?

i am going to try to find some eggs local now and try this hatch again.

2 more hatched and one is pipped. 10 more eggs are moving. i trashed 58 eggs yesterday that wasnt any good. i guess i just bought some bad eggs off ebay.

ok looks like i might need to go get a new one it might be off. The eggs could be old to i bought them off of ebay and it took 6 days before i got them after i bought them.
