    Something ate one of my coturnix hens.

    Hh that's weird I've seen them eat there own eggs but not each other there were several eggs and the feeder was full. I gues they wanted some meat.

    Something ate one of my coturnix hens.

    Well the cage is 3' X5' and the hen was almost completely in the middle. I have never seen or caught any rats around here bur I guess it is possible.

    Something ate one of my coturnix hens.

    I just went out to check my quail and one of my 8 coturnix quail was dead. there was a quarter size hole right up the bum and all of the guts were gone. I have been having mice in my chicken feed but they were just field mice. The cage is about 5 feet off the ground and at least 2.5 feet away...

    how do you switch watering systems

    I had switched two male cots to a wire cage and I had to have a rabbit waterer and they started using it right away.

    My egg turner(1611) hova-bator is really loud, how do i fix this?

    I have had a hovabator incubator(1602) and a hovabator egg turner(1611) for about 6 months and now the turner is getting really loud. I just sounds like a motor running, but when i first got it it didn't make a sound. How should i fix this?

    Quail Housing

    If you are not going to breed them then you will not need a male. That enclosure will be really big for only 5 females. If you are just wanting eggs then I would suggest coturnix quail.

    Darn its hard to be patient when waiting on eggs

    If I had an incubator like that i would try to order from several breeders and pick the one with the best eggs and birds and the best service/price.

    Darn its hard to be patient when waiting on eggs

    Quote: Ya that's ok, I am not needing them. I have about ten rosettas, italians, and a tuxedo that are about to start laying to keep me busy.

    Darn its hard to be patient when waiting on eggs

    Yes i am pretty anxious too. I ordered 24 jumbo cots eggs and 12 blue breasted buttons eggs. It's been two weeks, but i think the buttons are the cause. I should have told her to send them separately as they became available.
