    look how we grown(pics) :)

    Thank you GrandmaBird!!! I knew it was still a tad early to sex for sure but at least I have a better idea. I knew the white/tux ones are a guessing game. When do they normally go thru their last molt to where they have adult plumage? This is my first batch so I'm learning as I go. Sure wish...

    Here are my button quail that I hatched 4 wks ago. I'm still unsure of colors maybe y'all can help. Also I know the tan and red banded ones are male due to the red feathers around vent. Still not sure on the others. No one else has red around the vent but not sure if it's due to the lightness of...

    My newest additions have arrived(pics)

    These are Chinese painted button quail. I believe I have silvers, a couple of whites, normal color and one tuxedo... I think I don't really know colors all that well. How are your Pharaohs?

    I was told to take a thick rubber band and place it around my wrist. For anytime I wanted to peak or get involved they told me to snap the rubber band to detour me from the bator lol

    Ya my daughter got a good laugh at me trying to chase them around the incubator as I went to move them to the brooder.

    So this was my first attempt incubating quail. Naturally when I set 22 eggs in the bator the weather decided to go bi-polar(no offense to those who may suffer from bi-polar). I candled on the 8th day and was left w/ 18 viable. Then ice-storm rolls in causing temp and humidity fluctuations so I...

    Awe love all the beautiful babies and congrats to those w/ successful hatchings. Here are my hatchlings from yesterday. 9 out of 25. Some weren't fertile or got broke, early deaths and power outage due to random storm. So I'm real pleased that I ended up w/ this many. This crazy weather was...

    Went into lockdown this morning w/ my button quail. Eggs are rocking and a rolling. Humidity is being a slight challenge due to drastic fluctuation of outside weather. Keeping fingers crossed.

    Impeyan( Himalayan Monal) pheasant questions.

    Tony K T, thank you so much for taking time to reply. Can pheasants get a vaccine for west nile like livestock? What about temps during the summer? I've read that they are cold hardy but not so great in heat. I live in the coastal areas of SC. We can get some brutal heat with high humidity...

    Impeyan( Himalayan Monal) pheasant questions.

    I have a good family friend in WI that has a couple pairs of impeyans. He is offering me a couple eggs to incubate from his younger pair(3.5 yrs) that he suspects to be laying this season. He recently heard of my devastating news about my previous stock of various poultry being stolen and knew...

    Jan./Feb. 2014 hatch a long

    I candled all my eggs tonight. 12 out of the 22 are viable w/ veins thus far. The remaining 10 were hard to tell most of them were the darkest of the quail eggs. I'll check again Sunday to see how things are going. First time with quail eggs but if I get 12 out of 22 I'll be happy. I ordered 18...

    I'm no good at waiting lol I have to wait til Sunday to candle my eggs for day 7. I did candle two yesterday w/ my homemade candler to see how well it worked. Quail eggs are so dark but I could make out air sack and yoke....now I understand why most quail hatchers don't even bother candling...

Here is their site http://www.strombergschickens.com/prod_detail_list/Fertile-Hatching-Eggs . You can also check Ebay as it normally has quail eggs. Just know...

    The more the merrier. Only you have to promise us one thing.......post tons of pictures. :) I'm intrigued in the natural nest method. Could you explain? I'm not a newbie but I'm not as seasoned as some of the pros here. I'm hatching quail for the first time which I'm a bit nervous.

    Woo hoo so eggziting KV Silkies. I'm so proud of myself. I built my own egg turner so I don't have to open bator or handle the itty bitty quail eggs(I suffer from klutzability). Plus today I made my own egg candler and it actually worked on the dark speckled eggs. The candling was my daughters...
