    Best Broody Meat Birds

    Hello All, I am planning to start raising my own meat birds. I want to raise about 200 that will be processed next year. My question is, what is the best breed that converts food and is broody enough to hatch their own chicks? I think that about 15 brooders hatching 10 eggs (getting...

    5 Week Old Birds, Still No Back Feathers

    Thanks. I really am having a hard time figuring it out. They are getting close to being able to be sexed. Most with the issue are white, so I can't tell until they are all mature breeding age to split them up.

    5 Week Old Birds, Still No Back Feathers

    Not really. They do not look like they are irritated or sore. I can't figure it out.

    5 Week Old Birds, Still No Back Feathers

    I hatched out 50 coturnix eggs 5 weeks ago. Most of them have come along well, but 10 or so still have not grown back feathers. Is this common? Feeding 28% turkey starter 10 per cage, but sexed yet

    Float Testing, Checking Egg Viability For Late Or Overdue Hatching

    I made this video to show what it looks like to properly float them. I have more to add to it when I have time. If they move you are in business. If they don't, keep them! They still have a chance. If bad they will sink and 14 days in an incubator they will go bad.

    Courtnix quail mixed with a&m

    Texas A&M are Coturnix quail. They are white, because they have been breed with the white mutation to make them appear as cleaner production birds. They are larger because of selective breeding for size. You can breed the standard Coturnix with the Texas A&M with no problems. I am not sure...

    all who are hatching quail

    I had 56 viable eggs when I floated the on day 14. One hatched on day 15.5. It is now day 16.5 no others have hatched, but I have seen eggs moving. Is it typical to have one hatch so much earlier than the rest?

    First time Incubating

    I am not sure of the model. Can you share the post you are talking about. I do have it in the basement. The temperature never changes from 72*. I am going to grow them out in the same room for the same reasons.

    First time Incubating

    Besides the couple of times I messed with the eggs to get the bad ones out, mine has stayed between 99.3 and 100.4. Most of the time it reads right at 99.5. These temps are checked by two thermos. Little Giant with fan set in the middle towards the front. Dial for temperature with no built in...

    First time Incubating

    That is what decided to do for my first hatch. I read an article about a study done in Brazil that tested hatch rates with different humidity levels. Dryer had the highest hatch rate. http://www.lrrd.org/lrrd21/3/roma21038.htm
