Nasty skin/feather problem
Quote: that is a good point. i'll keep an eye out for it. the only thing is that it was just one clutch. anyhow, the birds are growing feathers normally now. still a little shiny in some places though. i'm sure it was the heat that caused them to have jacked up feathers. it was like... -
Nasty skin/feather problem
Quote: this. or possibly a nutrition deficiency with the breeding stock that those eggs were from. that is what i was thinking. i called the feed store and a lady there reminded me of the heat. it has been excessively hot here. one week it was even hotter than hot. usual has been 100F... -
Nasty skin/feather problem
i can't use a pesticide such as 7 Dust. i'd just have to 86 the ones that don't respond to DE and treat the brooder. then return it to service. these quail will serve as food in a short time. my question, i guess, is really, is this an insect issue or is it related to the hatcher... -
Quail Water
Quote: yeah, no kidding! Model_A_Tractor, that is a really nice shack. thanks for posting the photos. it gave me and now i have all pens watered automatically, except the brooder. there is another set of grow-out pens behind the camera but same piping. there was just one thing that... -
Nasty skin/feather problem
the larger birds in these photos hatched and looked all wet. the feathers looked smeared. i figured out the problem (you can see smaller chicks that hatched a few days later are normal in way of fluff feathers), but now they're not growing feathers normally. even though the problem started... -
Quail Water
Quote: according to the table, i need to get the bucket ~7' above the PVC pipe that feeds the nipples? i will say, in all the photos i've seen of people's set-ups, i've not seen one bucket that high. or even very high at all. All - i will not be switching to a set-up that feeds from a... -

is this correct? i can't believe it. i must hang the bucket at least 7' in the air? Feet Head psi 1 0.43 2 0.87 3 1.30 4 1.73 5 2.17 6 2.60 7 3.03 8 3.46 9 3.90 10 4.33 20 8.66 -
Quail Water
and how high to put the bucket? 3/4" inch PVC. First line: the piping will go across ~6 with four nipples'; then angle down to another pen of 2' with two nipples. the second line will go across 7' and four nipples. THX! -

For people who use the nipple waterers: i'm wondering how high to put them for adults; one week; two week and three week old cortunix quail. esp the younger ones. Here is photo of the type i'm using: -
Fly Control

Where to store quail eggs
Quote: at least in this house at 69-70F, you are correct. we now have chicks hatching before day 14 in the incubator and all the time in the hatch-out bator. i can't think of a place that is cooler than 69F. the chicks hatching in the incubator are being crushed in the auto turner and the... -
Fly Control
we've got breeder pens, small brooders and a grow-out pen. Fly traps have been put nearby to control flies. I've "poofed" DE every day to no avail. Flies are still a problem. These pens are mostly all raised at least a foot off the ground (brooders can be on ground or raised). the quail...
