    Feather Loss in same spot

    I have about 7 quail balding in the same spot. I picked up the wrong feed which is lower in protein than what they usually eat. The skin isn’t irritated. They’re in a 8’x10’ ground pen.

    First Hatch from our first Batch of Quail

    I did it on day 14 as I transferred them from the egg turner back to incubator. It seem to help increase the humidity too.

    First Hatch from our first Batch of Quail

    I did a lot of research before incubating and read that the float test was easier with quail. I tried candling but found it hard to tell. When I placed them into the water 3 sank, 2 flipped upside down and the rest I could see move around in the water (so cool).

    Female quail noises

    I have a couple of broody females. They make a different sound while protecting their eggs. It sounds like a tea kettle. I can hear it from far away.

    Fertile Egg?

    I’m assuming this is a fertile egg? It’s from my Celadon. If so, I can’t wait to start hatching these.

    Male or Female?

    Good to know. 2 months old. I just got them under more light so no eggs yet. I just discovered another male out of the 5...so 3 out of 5 are Roos. Now I have to decide who says and who goes. Started with 4: 9 and now 6: 11.

    Male or Female?

    Thank you for the feedback. I’ll just watch him/her and see if any crowing happens. I didn’t see any foam but I don’t think I’ve mastered vent sexing yet.
