Thank you for the picture!!!!!!

They may be. I’ve decided to stop checking for a few weeks. The Roos are quiet so I don’t need to put anyone in freezer camp. They are a joy to watch and I am getting a dozen eggs a day. When I need more I will just ask Forsythe Farms for more chicks.

Thank you. Yes I have done the reading and watched the you tube videos. The vents look like a little round O. I guess they are taking their time to mature. They are almost 9 weeks old.

I learn so much from this site thank you,

I am not sure what the sex is of the 8 unknowns, 4 of them are tuxedos, 2 are a solid gold color and 2 are Italians that I think are boys by their feathers (but they have some spots too), but no foam yet. Thank you for letting me know about hens laying sterile eggs, I did not know that. I...

Thank you very much. This makes me feel so much better. I thought there was something wrong with my birds. I have 22 quail 4 males 10 females and 8 ? 2 males crow and I get between 8-12 eggs per day all infertile. I have a light on them so they get 14 hours of light per day.

I have several beautiful yellow cortunix quail that are 8 weeks old. On page 101 of K. Puddephatt's book Urban Quail-Keeping she states that goldens can have high fatalities and health complications. My males are not producing foam, nor do they crow, and the females are laying eggs that are...

Is there supposed to be a white ring around the center? or a darker ring?

I have cortunix and a light on them for 14 hours a day. My hens are laying, but the roos aren't riding.

I am getting a dozen eggs a day, but my males are not producing foam. They are 8 weeks old today. When will the males be ready to do their jobs?

what kind do you use? do you need a Rx from a vet?

I too have this question. My quail are 7 weeks old and I have them on deep liter (I want them to have a happy life before I eat them) What do I use to worm the little dinosaurs? (Intestinal parasites sound really icky and I do not want to get them)

I am new and do not have my quail yet. I am in Torrance, CA with grumpy neighbors so chickens are not an option.

There is arsenic in many natural products such as apple seeds. There is also cyanide in stone fruit seeds. Don't eat them :) Just makes home grown, home prepared even better for us.

Thank you Maynard! I am learning so much.

I can't wait :)

Thank you so much Fenrisulfr!

Thank you Nchls

Hi everyone, I am in the process of designing my first quail cage to raise quail for harvest, save the poop for composting, and collecting the eggs easily. What specifics do I need to keep in mind? The cage will be outside with a little roof over it. The winters here are very mild with frost...

My name is Shelly, I taught oceanography for 22 years in a city located in the South Santa Monica Bay. (south of Los Angeles, CA) I just retired from teaching and have started a garden and now want to raise quail to harvest for meat, poop to compost for my garden, and the eggs will be a bonus.
