    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    I feed only FF to my Quail and do not notice any difference in taste. But, I never have any leftover to reheat. I also feed FF to my Chickens and notice no difference in the eggs. I am now doing my first batch of Meaties with the FF. There is a huge difference in the smell and also the...

    My Spring 2013 Meat Bird Journal

    I weighed a smaller and larger one this morning just based on looking at them as I didn't want to weigh a bunch of them for an average. Smallest - 6.75 oz Largest - 8.25 oz They are starting to eat the fermented feed now. They were a little hesitant about it at first but once I took away...

    My Spring 2013 Meat Bird Journal

    I will be feeding fermented food. I am just now starting to switch them over to it. My layers have been eating it for about a year now. It really cuts down on the smell so I am hoping the meat birds will be more tolerable in that area too. It will be interesting to see if they grow as fast.

    Thanks for sharing all your information. I have had Delaware for years and just decided to add some White Plymouth Rock females and Dark Cornish Roo's. I also have some new CX's chicks that are supposed to be all male. I will hold back the females, if there is any, and add them to my flock too...

    My Spring 2013 Meat Bird Journal

    I received 26 Meat Pen birds from Meyer Hatchery on 2/20/13 and they were hatched on 2/18/13 so they should be the same age as yours. I ordered all male. This is my 2nd time at raising them and last time I had mostly females and the males grew so much faster that I decided to get all males. I...

    Tatanka Breeders Club: Meat Quail project with history, discussion, pictures and videos

    Where does everyone get their egg cartons and trays from for the jumbo quail eggs? I bought a bunch of quail trays and plastic cartons and all my eggs are too big for them. I have to use every other hole in the trays and if I can get the eggs into the cartons I can't close the lid. I do...

    food for thought or quail for thought

    Thanks! That's a bummer that they got lost! My eggs road around all day with the mail lady the day they were supposed to arrive and then she didn't even come up the driveway to deliver them. She just left a note in the mailbox and said to pick up the next AM at the PO. I was so mad I took...

    food for thought or quail for thought

    Hi SiTran, How did your hatch go? My James Marie Pharaoh and Texas A&M are in lock down now and should be hatching any day. Still waiting for the first pip though. I have seen some of the eggs rocking. Out of the 100 shipped eggs I ended up with 70 for lock down (33 Pharaoh and 37 A&M's)...

    Okay, I put 33 James Marie Jumbo Pharaoh Coturnix and 37 Jumbo Texas A&M White Quail in lock down at 6PM on Saturday. It is time to start pipping now but nothing is happening. I hate waiting........

    I think you are right. I will get my aquarium set up for some of the eggs or just go get a still air incubator for hatching all the eggs. I don't want to loose any babies to my greediness for setting all of them instead of the 60 I was supposed to set. Thanks for the feedback. I had read on...

    Sorry about the loss Pyxis. Glad to hear you order more eggs though. I have a question for everyone. I originally set 100 Quail Eggs in my Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance Incubator. I had to double stack them (bottom ones right into the tray and top ones in paper quail carton set directly on...

    I set 50 Jumbo Pharaoh Corturnix Quail and 50 Jumbo A&M Corturnix Quail on August 18th. The eggs were shipped. I candled them on Saturday and removed a little more than a dozen. There are some others that are iffy that I will remove before lock down on Sept. 1st. They are due to hatch on...

    The Bob White Quail taste a lot like chicken and are a very light colored meat. I haven't tried the home raised Corturnix yet but they are supposed to be a little darker meat. They say the quail you get in restaurants is Corturnix and it is very good. My granddaughters favorite so she is...

    Brinsea Eco 20 humidity/bad hatch??

    How did you hatch them stacked? I have 100 quail eggs in my Brinsea Octagon 20. It only holds 60 so I had to stack the other 40 on top in a cardboard quail egg carton. I not sure what I am going to do when I candle them and more than 60 of them are alive. Did you just put them in there loose...

    It will be fun to hear about your quail hatch! The ones I set on the 18th will be right behind the ones you set on the 17th.
