What type of quail are they? What color light are you using in your Brooder? I got some Green Goo from my local TSC that I put on any of them that look pecked at and swap my light to a red light until they heal back up. Some quail will get tiny little red/blood spots when growing in new...

Can we get some updated pictures. I can not wait to see how they do when you get them grown up.

I would also check your front porch every so often to make sure they do not sit it there with out ringing the bell. Hope it works out.

That is so cool. Give us an update when you get home from work.

Dripping wet. It is really warm here where I am at so I was not worried about the wetness. It dries quick

I have used this with good results. When you spray them down and think you have got them good enough give them a little more. You want to make sure you get them all coated with the magic water. It also helped to take all the quail out of there normal cage and spray down the inside a bit with...

Update: No other quail hatched from this previous attempt. We got our new incubator in and it has been a dream. Holds temp at 99.5 and the automatic water pump has made it super easy. The incubator is smarter than I am with hatching and it even stops turning the eggs all on its on for...

I only have one 2 plug outlet in my garage as well so I got a Power Strip from the dollar store for about 5 bucks and you can get them off of amazon for around the same price. As far as lighting goes I use one of the Clamp Lights clamped and zip tied on the ceiling of the garage pointed toward...

If you get one of the cheap dollar solar lights from the dollar store it will only last about 2 to 4 extra hours after it gets dark before it looses its charge and will recharge for the next day. These I think would work out well and be super cheap. Just pick one up for a dollar sit it out in...

Thanks again for the advice. Will have my wife mortar and pestle the shells before serving it to them.

The 2nd one for the adults I do not think it is Medicated so this should work out pretty good. I will feed the chicks the 28% medicated feed until the Roosters start to crow and then swap them all to the adult feed with calcium on the side in another container for the hens. Any...

Congrats!

My local feed store carries a few different types of feed for "game birds" and I was looking for help on picking what would be best for my birds. Right now we have some coturnix that are just now starting to lay eggs and some Bob Whites that are only about 5 to 6 weeks old. This is what we...

I have a knack for learning things the hard way. I think when I get home from work if nothing has done anything I am going to pull the plug on this batch. The new incubator and the myshire eggs I ordered should both show up today..

Day 26 in the books and still nothing. The Hygrometers read 72 and 75 and the temp is still reading good. Wonder how much longer I should give it before I write these ones off.
