    Can someone with a scale help me?

    I'm deworming my quail for the first time. The problem is, I need to measure out 3.5 pounds of food. I don't have a scale of any sort. I do have a lot of measuring cups, though. Could someone weigh a cup of crumble-type food and tell me how much it weighs? Thank you so much, and I'd really...

    Egg turning questions

    I am going on vacation from June 10th-19th. I plan on incubating 12 shipped quail eggs and 10 from my own birds. As a person without an auto turner on my bator, I'm a bit concerned. Since these eggs take 17 days to hatch and I want to be there for the last 2 days of their incubation, i will...

    Incuview vs Genesis 1588 vs other brands?

    Hi, I need an incubator lol. I was thinking about a genesis 1588, but it's a ton of money for styrofoam. I was considering maybe an incuview or an R-com mini. If anyone could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you :)!

    A&M x Regular Brown?

    Does anyone have an idea of what color babies I'd get if I crossed a Texas A&M female with a regular brown male? Since they are both coturnix, I imagine I'd have no trouble breeding them. Would I get some white, some brown babies, or babies that are a combination? Thanks.

    Quails leg bone popped out?

    My quail named Big Smoke was limping really bad one day, so I looked and her leg bone had popped out. By popped out, i mean there was a hole in her leg skin and the bone was sticking out through that hole. I popped it back in place as soon as I noticed, and washed the cut. I put antibiotics and...

    Ok so i have 3 male Coturnix quail, and 2 female (numbers might change if the eggs in the bator hatch) Anyway, i was wondering, if i take my most docile male, and put him with the 2 females, while the other 2 males would be put in a "bachelor pad" of sorts, do you think that would work out? They...
