    Khaki Campbell Ducklings -- Shoreline, WA

    Hey guys! I have some KC ducklings available. They're getting close to being two weeks old, and the person I hatched them out for apparently changed her mind about wanting them, because she has completely stopped responding to my messages. Unfortunately, I am a big ol' quail lover, and while...

    The most creative way quail chicks tried to hurt themselves?

    They do! They can't be trusted with anything. Am so glad you found the precious little puffball! That must have been the most stressful few minutes ever oh my goodness

    The most creative way quail chicks tried to hurt themselves?

    As I learned in my last two hatches, these tiny monsters cannot be trusted alone for more than about five seconds. Maybe not even that. But this time around, I thought okay, I've got it, they should be pretty safe. I thought I had taken out everything they could possibly hurt themselves on...

    Experience tractoring quail?

    Mine are in a somewhat movable coop as well and my plan is to do the same thing with moving them from garden bed to garden bed. These are my first quail, and they hatched from grocery store eggs, so every step of the way has been an adventure and a learning experience. But am definitely learning...

    Why do quail chicks discover any possible trouble? Duct taped chick!

    So last night, one of the chicks got herself into a sticky situation. Literally. She's determined to get into the water dish and run around in circles a few times. When there were pebbles in there, she still did this, just stumbled more. Anyway, am not sure why she like it so much, but I...

    why did my quail chicks die?

    This comes to mind because I was reading about it last night, but maybe omphalitis? I am so sorry, this must be heartbreaking for you

    And then here is a link to a video I put on YouTube that just shows when they started rocking -- no hatching in it.

    grocery store quail eggs have hatched

    They didn't have a brand that I saw. They just came in tiny clear plastic cases of ten eggs each, $1.79 at Ranch 99, an Asian supermarket. The cases were stacked in bigger cardboard boxes in the egg display, no sticker or ISBN or anything on the plastic cases. It seemed worth a shot, so I...

    grocery store quail eggs have hatched

    Although it was a long day, three of the four eggs that developed have now hatched, all of them today. One of them will not stop shrieking if I walk more than a few feet away, all he wants is to be held in cupped hands, although I don't think he has quite figured out yet that the incubator is...

    New member, hatching quail

    Hey guys! Am a shiny new member and just wanted to say, thank you! I've been reading your stuff a lot over the last week and a half or so while incubating some quail eggs from the grocery store, and it has helped a lot. Four of them have developed and one is pipping this morning, so all of your...
