My call ducks have the same illness... help
Hi! I use elevated plastic waterers, and I was not aware of the dangers associated with using metal, so thank you! I use smoke-dried leaves for their bedding -- and I clean their pen out entirely once a week. Additionally, their pond is drained and refilled once every 2 days. And yes! My ducks... -
My call ducks have the same illness... help
Yes! Tomorrow I can try to get a video for you. I feed them 1/3 waterfowl feed, a small amount of scratch, and 1/3 layer pellets. I also feed them live earthworms, frozen minnows, and a huge variety of safe fruits. I will definitely try the apple cider vinegar trick; thanks so much! -

My call ducks have the same illness... help

14 Female quails 1 Male and one egg per day?
Thank you for all the great information! I definitely need to install some sort of skylight for them indoors, as their outdoor area is more limited. I also had no idea they needed so much protein! I'll check the game bird food amounts for protein, and the scratch will definitely be limited from... -
14 Female quails 1 Male and one egg per day?
Hi BYC community! I've recently run into a strange issue. I decided to hatch more Coturnix quails since my others were quite old, and now, 3-4 months later, I have vent-sexed them: 14 females 1 male I have never had this happen before. The one male and 2 of the females were from a previous... -

So after further search, I've figured out the incubator is called a "Hovabator", and comes with this yellow automatic egg turner. Should I maybe even avoid using an automatic turner?- Oshi55
