Affordable incubator reviews?
The lid fits perfectly with or with out the egg Turner. I have the Turner and it is made for this incubator and fits in it perfectly. The whole set up with shipping is less than the one you posted above and the GQF company is well known and their hovabator are very popular because they are so...- Fr quail

Can a light burning all night stress or kill a Quail ?
I don't know if it is common practice. I wouldn't do it because I don't have that kind of issue, but I'd think it would be obvious to people to make a way for their animals to have a dark place to sleep. -

Coturnix Quail
If you clip their wing feathers very short they cant fly and are very easy to catch so if you clip their wings you could let them out if you stay with them. I would try it with one bird at a time or one person per bird in case they go in different directions. With clipped wings, you could put... -
How long do quail eggs stay fresh and when do they stop laying?
People use light bulbs to make the quail think the days are longer than they really are and this will keep them laying through the short days. I think 14 hours of light a day will keep them laying, but google it to be sure. You only need enough light to keep them awake, nothing fancy. A 100 watt... -

Suggestions for gluten/wheat free quail feed?
Have you asked your local feed store(s)? They will probably know what is available and can advise you. If they don't know or are not helpful, you could also ask what brands of feed they sell then call those companies to ask for your unique food request. If the company makes a product that... -
Quail brooder bedding and incubator time
I have raised many quail chicks on shavings and had no problems. I rarely lose a chick. As long as you don't overcrowd, the shavings stay dry which is important. I haven't read the posts about raising them on sand, but think getting rid of dirty sand would be difficult and unsightly, while you... -
Can a light burning all night stress or kill a Quail ?
I think your neighbor may be right the light is stressful to the quail, though I dont know if it would cause them to die. When raising chicks they will start to cannibalize each other if the light is left on 24/7. Though the quail owner is responsible for the quails well being, not you. He... -
