    Quail feed

    Why shouldn’t I be feeding medicated, it’s specifically for quail ? It says on the bag “ Quail starter 29% protein, medicated. Do not feed 3 weeks before eggs, transfer to grower feed at this time”

    Quail feed

    Thank you, but it says on the bag of feed I’m giving them I should take it out of their diet at 3-4 weeks as it’s medicated so it won’t transfer into the eggs.Thats when I’m to move them onto grower feed? It’s confusing because they grow so quickly!!!

    You seem to be doing everything else well, green poop is a sign of not eating, but if she’s eating again that’s good, personally I’d keep her isolated until she’s more mobile and back to her usual self.

    What incubation temps and humidity? For quail ASAP please

    Hello @Nabiki my quail are now a week old and their heat plate needs raising, however some of the quail are much larger than the others? Why is this, I don’t want to raise the plate to much or the smaller ones won’t get enough heat, and if I lower it the large ones get no heat. Why have they...

    Buff Orpington not laying in the write spot

    Edit: the same nests have been used in all the different flocks I have and never had an issue, my parents used them before me and they can’t remember ever having hens do this.

    Buff Orpington not laying in the write spot

    Yes, the hens in the Breeding group are doing this. I’ve never in my life had an issue with these nesting boxes and nor have my parents so perhaps I will just lock them in the nest box till they are laid, I haven’t been able to to do this through because of work, so we’ll just wait and see.
