Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail
Unfortunately that wasn't the case haha, Stitch was pecking at her legs instead. She was being quite the bully to poor Cookie, it's their first interaction. Stitch hasn't been reared with the other quail (mostly because none of mine go broody) and any short exposures we've attempted got some... -

Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail
17 days old now, and still looking very JC-y. Prreeeeetty worried I might have ended up putting a wrong egg in the incubator at this point. Stitch is now the same size as my adult CP quails. Still tiny next to the JC though. I was trying to make just a size comparison video but then got caught... -

Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail
Yes I agree, it's very bizarre. I hope something shows through, otherwise I'm going to be very upset if it turns out I put a wrong egg into the incubator somehow. The doubts are starting to rise within me ahhhhh -

Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail
Apologies for the blurry footage but here’s another update on Stitch! Growing so fast now The beginnings of chest feathers are coming in, and considering she’s coloured pharaoh I think it’s safe to think that Stitch is a hen. She has a lot of stripes, I’m not sure if it just looks like a lot... -

Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail
It seems you are right! I checked tonight and there is a big ole nubby right on the top of their tail. For some reason I thought their oil nubs were one on each side of their side, not directly over the tail? Unless different bird species have them in different places? I know for sure the... -

I’ll not be too surprised if a CP/JC hybrid just makes a bantam quail hahaha -

Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail
Little update: Stitch is a week old today! They’re doing great so far, growing super fast. Their pin feathers are already sprouting feather tips, I’m excited to see how they form. Though knowing our luck Stitch will probably just resemble a pharaoh coturnix at this point haha. I think the... -

Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail
Yes it’s super crazy how different it looks within a couple of days! I hadn’t considered a malalignment, it could be possible. Stitch is constantly readjusting their crop too so it possible they’re ‘fixing’ their jaw while they do those little yawn stretches. One other thing ive noticed is that... -

Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail
Little update on Stitch; they’re alive and doing well! I fixed their toes with the power of tape, and on their first night out of the egg they wiggled so much that they managed to rip off the skin attaching their wing to their body, so now they technically have 2 functioning wings! Even their... -

Do I count as snuggly? They’re kind of living in my shirt at the moment haha -

Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail
Okay, how to explain this.... I wanted to call it quits, but then found out the hard way that I had gotten too used to the sound of the incubator at night, and literally couldn't sleep without it on... And since I wasn't doing anything with the eggs still, I just resumed incubating them. I had... -

Coturnix Quail Roosters - Can They Make Good Fathers?
Just out of curiosity, if a hen were to incubate and hatch her eggs in an established group, would the rooster be okay with the chicks, or would he need to be removed to prevent killing them? I've seen paternal data regarding bobwhites and mearns but nothing about Japanese quail. -

Quail Cuddles [Video]
No but another hen had just laid an egg in the background which is why you can hear the egg song going on. Her neck wasn't always like that no, she was hatched fine but about 6 days in her neck was suddenly twisted. I had a lot of dietary issues with my first batch of quail so it came with a... -

Quail Cuddles [Video]
A little update on my wry neck, Plum, who I can definitely now say with confidence that she absolutely adores being pet and held.
