Newly hatched quail issues PLEASE HELP
...I didn't blame the forum for the death of my chick, I blamed it for giving me nothing other than "Look up Sprattle leg." Which is rather common knowledge for the situation while I clearly needed first-hand solutions for this issue on the tiny, hard to manage, quail chicks legs. -
Newly hatched quail issues PLEASE HELP
Nevermind, it's dead. Thanks for nothing, crap forum. -
Newly hatched quail issues PLEASE HELP
The spraddle leg doesn't seem to be much of a problem anymore, but the one that keeps lying on its side and is unable to stand up is still worrisome. -
Newly hatched quail issues PLEASE HELP
My quail just started to hatch and the majority were fine, but the last 2 to hatch are having problems. One is lop-sided in movement and can't stand up, and the other has, I believe, spraddle leg. I waited a couple of hours before I moved them from the incubator to the brooder, but they still... -
Do quail eggs need a fan? What kind of cheap fans can I use?
So do you think I will need a fan for my still-air 2150 Farm Innovators incubator? -
Do quail eggs need a fan? What kind of cheap fans can I use?
Do quail eggs need a fan during incubation? If they do, what can I do for a cheap, decent fan for my incubator? I heard of someone just using a dollar store fan, does anyone have any brand or something to recommend? -

Oh I see. Then I'm afraid your sense of humor is flawed. At least it is to me. -

What the heck are you talking about? I'm trying to make sure they DON'T eat their droppings. Like I said, their feces is high in ammonia, so if they eat them they will die. I don't believe you fully read the posts here... -

Okay, so would you recommend that brand of incubator? Also, I heard from several places that their feces are high in ammonia, so if they eat them, they poison themselves. -

Oh, and what incubators would work best? And if it's not too much, could anyone give me their step-by-step on the incubation and hatching process? It'd be a great help. I'm now looking into getting 12 Bobwhite Quail eggs. -

So you only use a blanket or something for the bottom? How do you ensure they won't eat their droppings? -
I'm looking to get Quail...
Okay, thank you. Also, what type of surface should I use for a brooder so the chicks won't eat their own feces? And should I make sure the temperature for the brooder is always warm or can I turn off any heaters at night? -

I'm looking to get Quail...
I live in central Massachusetts and I have been looking into raising quail for taming and harvesting eggs. I'm generally new to this hobby, though I have done a decent amount of research. I plan to get 7 eggs to hatch (via incubator, of course) and a 36x20x10h for the chicks. I intend to build a...
