    Eggs without shells

    Yes, I'm adding chicken egg shells to the feed I provide them.. I mix 50gms of egg shells for every 1 Kilogram of feed (That's like 5%).Should I be adding more? Also, the other quail is laying perfect eggs and I am feeding it the same feed with no changes whatsoever.

    Eggs without shells

    I've been raising 2 quails indoors and both of them have finally started laying eggs from early this month(September) and they are pretry consistent on this. However, one of the quail is laying eggs without the shell and I'm not sure why. I feed them the same food, same acv mixed water and I'm...

    Feeding Roasted Soybeans

    I've been feeding my quails raw soybeans and maize from the last 2 months but I recently got to know that raw soybeans is really bad for the birds and causes indigestion and prevents nutrient absorption. I've now started feeding them roasted soybean with maize but I noticed that they are not...

    Chicken egg shells for quails

    I see.. I think I can accommodate something for them to hide in but dirt bath is a big no in the cage as I'm raising them indoors. Also, I plan to do this on a large scale (1000+ quail) for egg production. How feasible would a dirt bath or a hiding spot be when I raise like 1000-2000 quails? A...

    Chicken egg shells for quails

    Thanks, will try keeping the egg shells separate and see how that goes. But I'm quite sure the are getting enough light. I have a dedicated full spectrum light which I usually switch on at 9am and switch off at 12am. So they're getting around 15 hours. (Attached a pic)

    Chicken egg shells for quails

    Feather loss in Quail. Advice please!

    Have you tried mixing apple cider vinegar with their water? I've read this could help in improving feather quality. Let's not go by my word though, new to this myself. Let the experts jump in.

    Bedding for poop tray..

    I've been raising 3 quails in a 4sqft wired cage and have put in wood shavings as a bedding for the poop tray underneath the cage (Hoping this would absorb the smell). I usually clean the tray once in a week but the smell gets pretty nasty on day 5 onwards and attracts a lot of flies. The worst...

    Great news. The issue is now sorted after I stopped grinding the feed and started feeding them bigger crumbles.
