    Serama hen hatching quails

    Honestly I think if it was any other hen they would have moved out much earlier. She is a cochin mix, very broody and submissive. I kept expecting problems, but never had any (I lost one baby but I think it was unrelated). I documented it, I think it's 4-5 videos all together on my YT 😂 Here's...

    Serama hen hatching quails

    Update: My girl Pants did an amazing job with the quail Chicks. She stayed with them until day 21. I only removed them because of space, and I wanted Pants to break her brood due to molting.

    RIR Molted feathers growing back black?

    I've had chickens for years and I've never seen a bird grow back molted feathers a completely different color... I've seen them slowly change, SLOWLY lol! My rir is growing in black feathers where she is molting. She is my only rir, so is this a thing that happens? I find it so weird... cool...

    Serama hen hatching quails

    Thanks so much for posting this. I have a bantam cochin sitting on quail eggs who are due to hatch tomorrow. I'm nervous about how she will react to them. Your post gave a lot of insight!

    Is this egg a gonner?

    I opened it today. The bird looked normal but the placenta was green and gross. I also had one hatching with curled feet after all the others. This is my 3rd quail hatch and I've noticed if they're late hatching, for whatever reason, they usually have some issue.

    Is this egg a gonner?

    That's kinda what I was thinking, especially with the way the membrane looks. Just surprised it made it that far and is giving up lol.

    Is this egg a gonner?

    I'm assuming it did it. I didn't mess with the egg at all. Just pulled it out under the humidifier to get a closer look and saw the "heartbeat" movement.

    Is this egg a gonner?

    I have quail hatching. Got 7 of 15 last night (day 18) and today I have a few more hatching. One zipped, and has had no progress for the last 10 hours. The cracked part of the egg is dark green. I pulled it out and I could still see a heartbeat, however the membrane is looking pretty gross...

    Brooder plate temp and height

    You're the second person to mention relrile heat lamps. Is there a specific wattage?

    Brooder plate temp and height

    I didn't think about not being able to see them... I may stick with the heat lamp this time.

    Brooder plate temp and height

    I have a batch of quail about to hatch... I've always used a heat lamp for my chicks, both chickens and quail. I have a heat plate which displays a temp that I can change. It goes up to 158°F. I'm assuming the underside shouldn't be so hot it burns my hand, so at around 110° the plate is...

    Straight to the incubator?

    That's what I was thinking also, thanks! They're from Myshire, so at least I have a 50% hatch guarantee.

    Straight to the incubator?

    I have an order of quail eggs on it's way and it was delayed in shipping. When the eggs arrive they'll be at least a week old. Should I still give the Minimum 12 hour resting time before incubating, or go straight to the incubator?
