    Hot shipped quail eggs?

    I received some shipped eggs that where warm to the touch " they sat in the mail box for an hour" I went ahead and put them in the incubator as soon as I opened the box and had an 78% hatch rate

    What size screen?

    1/2"x1/2 is the way to go or even 1/2"x 1". 1/4" x 1/4" is too small for their poop to fall through

    Bullied hen

    One of my 5 week old coturnix hens was attacked today and she has a wound that covers at least half of her head. I have isolated her and have put neosporin on the wound. Is this something she can recover from or will I have to put her out of her misery?

    Quail transitioning to wire bottom cage

    JJSS89, Did you have a dust pan in there for them to get off the wire and rest their feet?

    Quail transitioning to wire bottom cage

    It normally takes a day for them to get used to it, mine do the same thing every time I move them to the wire cage from the brooder,

    Introducing new quail

    I recently just hatched 12 jumbo coturnix quail, they are about a week and half old now and have most of their breast feathers. I believe that they may all be hens(spotted chests) and was wondering how hard would it be to introduce 2-3 males once they mature. And how would I go about adding...

    Dust bath for quail chicks

    My quail chicks are 6 days old and are starting to bathe in in their food dish. Can I put some dirt/sand in with them or is it still to early for that?

    First "lockdown" ever today! Update - one has hatched!

    12 eggs hatched for me, still have 5 eggs left I doubt they'll hatch though( no pips, no movement) but I'll keep them in the incubator a couple more days

    Hatching quail questions

    So I went and bought a digital themometer/hygrometer with probe and dropped it through the vent hole( I did not open the incubator)the humidity was 69%(inc says 64%) and temp is 99.0( incubator says 99.8). At egg level. Should I up the temp or leave it alone?

    First "lockdown" ever today! Update - one has hatched!

    Awesome! I'm incubating my first batch of coturnix quail as well I'm on day 16 and so far 3 eggs out of 17 have pipped but no hatches yet. I'm hoping I'll wake up to some furry little chicks in the incubator
