My quail has recently been sneezing and has had his one of his eye closed and when he does rarely open it it’s red. He is otherwise fine he walks around the garden although the poor thing is struggling. He is eating and drinking (drinking a lot). Wondering what it could be can anyone help it’s...
Hi thanks for the quick response, the pip is actually fairly big it's just I've been worried because theirs not been any sound or movement as far as I'm aware. I would also like to say that the humidity is at a constant 71% and the temp is perfect.
Hi it is currently day 21 and time for the eggs to hatch. One of my eggs have popped through the night and when I got up in the morning I had seen the bird open its beak but since then their has been no progress nor has their been any sound or sign of life. It is now 6:30pm so the chick must've...
Just as an update for any future people going through this situation. I have candles the eggs and found only 2 of the 7 haven't made it so far touch wood we should have some chickies in 17 days. DO NOT BE DISHEARTENED if this happen to you. Just stick with it candle the eggs in a few days and...
Thankyou I appreciate the help. I cracked open the first egg she layed a few days back to check if it was fertile and it was so a little good news I guess. If she is broody when will she begin to start sitting on the egg?
Good news is I've found an egg she had hidden it under the nest she made under they hay. She is a coturnix quail and she lives with one other male. The days have only just become longer and I think that is why she only just started laying because she had no extra light. Bad news is I think she...
i think she was hiding it in her next box because she made a whole in the hay almost nest like and hid the egg under the hay. I picked it up not realising it was an egg will she reject that nest now and the egg or if she is actually broody will she still sit on it. She a Italian coturnix quail...
My quail layed 4 days ago for the first time. She is 5 months old now and it is summer in the U.K. So she has ideal conditions. She has been building a nest in hay but hasn't layed in it. Should I be worried that she hasn't layed again?.
Thanks for the reply guys. And that's upset me very much I had some black francolin eggs in their I'm not sure if you guys know about them. Luckily I got them for free but they go for about 40-50 gbp on eBay in the U.K. I will leave the eggs in the bator and prey however the temp keeps rising to...
hi their guys I put in some eggs into my incubator last night and over night it went up to 40c for about 3 hours because I'm a night owl and a early bird haha!. Will these eggs have gone bad or have I still got a chance thanks guys!.
I HAVE A CHICK WHO WAS THE ONLY ONE OUT OF 6 to hatch. He himself didn't make it out with out my help 26 hours later he never had a poop once. So I cleaned his bottom because he had what I thought was pasty butt. Then a yellow sac came out of him and it still had red veins in I don't know what...
Hi guys There is about 13 hours of daylight and fairly warm weather. My quails are eating turkey crumbs with a quail mix and grit and calcium supliments etc. They live in a rabbit hutch about 5ft long. However they spend most there day inside the shaded part so they do not get much light. Is...
