    Sexing by butt fluff? Is it a thing?

    So vent sexing is apparently really hard, so I e been sitting out with my quail waiting for them to crow. But as I’ve been out there, staring for hours, I noticed the ones I know are female seem to have more fluff by their vents then the ones I know are boys. Pics below. Is this a thing or am I...

    Butchered quail smell after 24 hrs in fridge

    Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if could just what it normally smells like. I wish smell-o-vision was a thing already 🤣. It’s not a very strong odor, and it definitely could just be me. It did take me quite awhile to even eat my own chickens eggs at first lol. I did 3 more by myself...

    Butchered quail smell after 24 hrs in fridge

    I butchered my second batch of Quail yesterday, followed the Coturnix Corner YouTube video on how to do it, and rinsed them in the house after butchering/gutting them outside. Patted them dry and let rest in a ziplock bag in the fridge for 24 hrs. I took them out to place in vacuum seal bags...

    Fertility/Blastoderm/Blastodisc questions

    I went ahead and cracked a dozen eggs, and I’d say about half I ended up having to look for the bastoderm, and only about 2 looked like they might be fertilized. So I went ahead and put 21 eggs in my incubator and we’ll see if I get anything 😂 this morning I checked the eggs I was having for...

    Small quail cage build

    Finished my “Quail Jail” 🤣 I feel like I need to make a themed set now, like have a hospital, and not sure what a third one could be lol. (The quail I put in it was just for the photo lol). Just waiting on food/water dishes to come in, and car door edge covers (as suggested by @FloorCandy suggested)

    Small quail cage build

    I needed to get it done ASAP as my quail were growing too fast and my previous cage was a POS. I was planning on putting duct tape over my edges but your idea sound WAY better.

    Fertility/Blastoderm/Blastodisc questions

    thanks 😊 I have 4 older hens, and 2 younger hens and a young roo. The older ones pretty much stick to themselves and won’t let the other 3 join them so the young ones stick to themselves. I’m hoping the roo mates with at least the 2 young ones but I doubt he will/has. I keep checking fertility...

    Fertility/Blastoderm/Blastodisc questions

    I have a couple questions I can’t seem to find the answers to. 1. If I don’t see a blastoderm or blastodisc in a freshly cracked egg, could it be hiding on the other side of the yolk or is it just not fertile? 2. will a blastoderm/disc disappear if left in the fridge or on the counter? 3. if...
