    bobwhite quail question

    sesame seeds

    Has anyone ever fed their chickens sesame seeds. I scored a 50lb bag for free from work. The chickens have been eating them and now my eggs are huge, cant even close the cartons.

    Protein

    I have heard of people supplementing Ground up Cat food or egg? Is this a good way to do it? If so, how much? I have chickens as well, and way too many eggs! I could easily afford to feed my quail a dozen chicken eggs per week. What would the long term effect be of feeding low protein food...

    Quail Egg Laying

    I am new to Cortunix as well. I put a light on mine for 14-15 hours a day. I noticed a took a good week or so to get them back into laying mode, I think it takes a while for their bodies to adjust. I filled my incubator and shut the light off a week ago, and they are still cranking the eggs out.

    Winter watering

    So I am new to Quail, I got 12 coturnix and 23 eggs in my incubator that will hopefully hatch this week. I am trying to figure out what everybody does for water for their quail in the winter. I currently use a heated dog water dish for my chickens. I just dump it out and refill everyday. The...
