I just got finished hatching my quail. I let them dry for a couple hours and when I took them out to put in brooder, placed paper towel down on the floor. The incubator heated up quickly and set for the rest of the eggs I had in it. Quail hatched on day 18 and 19. My Bantam hatched out day 23.
I'm pretty sure it was rats. Funny, though they went for the quail and not my ducks or chickens. Trying to convince hubby on getting some more quail. Definitely keeping indoors now.
My coturnix quail laid her 1st egg. Had this bird for quite some months and no eggs. She is the last one. Here covy was killed by (what I assume were rats) got in the quail pen. She was the only survivor and now have her in the house 1 week now. She was scared and slightly injured, but is...
I have 8 adult turkeys with my chickens. The generally get along well with the chickens. My oldest female (6 yrs), Ms T, sometimes picks fights with my roosters & chases them around the yard. One of my youngest T hen hatched her 1st today. She was raised with the chickens since a polt last year.
