    Coturnix Quail hatched her own eggs

    So exciting to hear you are doing a study. I will be very interested as I have started trying to breed the broody trait back into the Japanese quail. I started off with 3 females in a 150x80cm enclosure. Lined with wood shavings and a large platform that they can go up on for food and water (no...

    Would the eggs be fertilised? Male quail away for 2 days.

    Would the eggs be fertilised? Male quail away for 2 days.

    So an update. We continued to incubate the eggs after our broody quail gave up. 5 has hatched so far. My friend has an unusually broody quail which pretty much broods all year round so I borrowed her quail. Took it home and placed it with the chicks. 10min later, she was brooding them! Just...

    Quail with large lump on breast.

    Just discovered a large lump on the right hand side of my Japanese quail's breast. It's big. At least 1inch diameter. Has anyone experienced this?

    Would the eggs be fertilised? Male quail away for 2 days.

    So my Japanese quail decided to be broody again after giving up after 5 days last time. The only problem is she became broody while my male quail was in quarantine. When I placed him back, he hassled her so much she fled her nest. I threw out those eggs she brooded for a few days. But it didn't...

    best way to candle quail eggs?

    I just tried that! It's amazing! Having tried using a torch with not much success, I used the iPhone at 5 days and could see the blood vessels! That's with a spotty cortunix egg!!!! Thank you!!

    Broody quail. Will she stop gathering eggs?

    That's great news for spook. Funny our kids named one of our quails Flower, too. She's been back on her nest since late last night. Probably dead as it was only the 5th day but we will see I guess.

    Broody quail. Will she stop gathering eggs?

    She appears to be shunned from the group so she was probably doing if for status sake.

    Broody quail. Will she stop gathering eggs?

    UPDATE - sad news. She moved her eggs to another location, sat on them for half the day then gave up . I noticed them cold a few hrs later. I have taken half of them and they will sit in the incubator. Hopefully they might keep going? The other half I left in case she changes her mind. Though...

    Broody quail. Will she stop gathering eggs?

    Hope so. The wait is killing me. It's only day 5. There was a storm last night. I was worried it might spook her but it didn't! Still sitting this morning!
