    button quail chick feeding

    Thanks A LOT for the info. I have 8 chicks from a recent hacth (one week ago) and yes, they are great. I assumed the feed was always made available to them but, in all my reading online, I never saw anything that spoke directly to that fact. I purchased the only game bird feed available at my...

    Should my chicks have an unlimited food supply?

    Thanks guys... and thanks for the link Ridgerunner. I did a video of the eggs so I will crosscheck with the images.

    Thanks. I was pretty disappointed in the hatch ratio but, more than anything, I just want to make sure I'm reimbursed if it's appropriate.

    Well...I opened all 10 eggs that didn't hatch and it was like prepping for breakfast. There were no baby birds, no veins, or any signs of growth. Does this mean I was shipped infertile eggs?

    First button quail chicks! Video!

    These guys are super awesome! I am however very disappointed to only have had 2 hatch out of 13 eggs. They were shipped and I AM new to this but I thought that my part in the process went very well.

    Button Quails Hatching at the End of Day 17

    Two of my 12 button quail eggs have hatched this morning. I am in the first hour of day 18 and this is my very first hatch. Do I leave the newly hatched inside of the incubator until I give up on unhatched eggs? How long should I wait? Thanks!

    GoPro inside bator during lock-down period?

    The hatch footage was a fail. My remote and camera un-paired somehow.

    What is a good incubator?

    I read an article where someone put for eggs in a plastic container, the plastic container in a bowl with some water, and fixed a lamp above the set-up. The person claimed that one of the four eggs hatched. I'd say research DIY incubators. I personally bought a turner for 60 bucks but I wasn't...

    My eggs are in lockdown and my gopro hero3 is fixed in place and charged. We will soon see....!

    Lockdown early or late?

    I didn't have much luck candling, aside from the one white egg that looked like it was empty (threw it out).... definitely not good enough visibility to see any internal pip. Looks like I'm going to lock em down a little early. Thanks!

    Lockdown early or late?

    Hey all! The 13th day for my button quail eggs is tomorrow at 6pm. I have to leave home at 1:30 pm and won't be back until midnight so I'm faced with either going into lockdown early or late... which would be the better choice? The eggs have been kept at a fairly constant temp in the high 99s...
