New cute pics, new silver babies on LOCK!
Heyo! Just put my Schofield Silvers from KC on lock last night. Excited about that. 22 out of 24 developed on these shipped eggs, and they are gorgeous. Lots of rocking, rolling, and wiggling. You ever hear them knock from inside the shell? I swear one is knocking in there... maybe I’m going... -
Quail Chick Color Guessing Game!?
Who wants to help me!? Anyone want to give opinions on these colors? I have my own guesses but I don’t know if they are right!? I have a mixed batch so far 16 out of the 20 have hatched they are shipped eggs so not sure on the last 4. This is a decent sampling of what I got. Some others are... -
I’m back, new eggs on the way!!!
Hello! I took a bit of a break during college football season, and we were not hatching much during fall as we had a trip coming up and stuff for Christmas and had to have everyone outside before then! So I was on hiatus to the Bahamas and Grand Turk! LOL! Anyway that was Christmas and now I’m... -
Hey!! Brown w/white wing feathers!?
So we mixed some Texas A&M with some coturnix brown for fun, hatched 10 out of 10 but lost a little yellow chick - too weak. Anyway we got mostly brown it was 6 and 4. One white had a double spot so we call her double shot or double spot or whatever and I’ll keep that one, we got ONE GIRL out... -
Adorable Mohawk!!!!!!!!
Here is a picture for you!! It is hard to get babies (especially CV babies(California Valley)) to stand still long enough to get a photo that actually ISN’T blurry am I right??? Lol! I got lucky with my first born CV today, I took him out and snapped a few pics and this was the best one, I love... -
New BABIEEESSSS California Valley
I have another thread with the full story, but thought I would post my pics here and an update. 7 eggs developed. 1 died after pipping and never absorbed the yolk, another died due to a really bad air cell I think, 2 hatched on their own, 3 had to be helped 100% they would have never made it... -
Shipped CV quail on lockdown + pips!
Out of 12 shipped California Valley eggs 7 developed the others were either cracked or duds. Air cells are not so great. Some are fine, some are total mess. All are still alive as of last night and many wiggling over the past few days. I went to a sort of semi lockdown a day or so early trying... -
Taco Takes a Nap
This is one of my breeder boys... Taco So I had to separate one of my boys for the next week or so, and he’s in the house the kids LOVE him - his name is Taco because we had plans to go to a taco festival in April and it was cancelled but my friends still came for a visit and during that time... -
Update on this color?
I posted pics of this bird a little while ago but now she is grown out a bit and gotten most of her head feathers. She lacks any discernible stripe down the head like the others, shes from the first hatch I had 4-5 weeks ago. She just doesn’t look exactly like the rest. I have another in the... -
Who here is waiting on Eggs???
Who wants to talk about this to pass the time? Who else right now is waiting on eggs to hatch?? I’m bored, I’ll go first! I bought 12 California Valley eggs online, 7 are viable and clearly moving/alive so... also their air cells don’t look that fabulous but some look perfect. I know I know... -
Losing Power - Storm Season
Just a few days ago I literally posted on a thread about ideas I had in case of a power outage because we haven’t gotten a generator yet (it is on the list we are “preppers” lol, we already invested a ton, the quail are actually part of it) anyway of course adult quail would be fine but babies... -
Adorable Video!!
ok so I placed my babies in a shoebox for like 4 mins while I quickly changed their paper towels. I didn’t notice the shoebox had a small hole. Then I had babies running all over my office and I was like OMG! How the heck did you get out? It has a cover LOL! And I’m really quick about... -
93% on these fuzzies!!!!
Love them! New are as A&M Coturnix just hatched last night! One minute it was quiet the next... it was not quiet LOL!!! Love love love them!!! These are from a local who had a lot of Texas A&M eggs and I mixed in a few of my own. Lost just 3 due to deformities I assume, as when I opened... -
babies.. BABIESSSS
Hatch days are SO AWESOME!!! According to my counter these guys are a tad late but I like to always say “a hatchling is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to” And it’s 12:30 at night and BOOM it’s like popcorn lol 20 went in my Janoel 12, 2 early demise, 18 were... -
Quail Videos - my own

Any guess on this color chick?
Well we started breeding quail and we started with 10 Coturnix brown and they all looked pretty much identical - they grew up and I have some breeders and there isn’t much color variation they all seem pretty much the same to me. However, I had a small batch of eggs hatch a week or so ago... -
EE?
So I picked up this girl today I just really thought I loved the color I love unusual and pretty colored birds I didn't really care what breed she was and I can't really tell if she's Ameraucana or EE I am thinking she's a mutt EE, pretty sure she's laying blue eggs already. She's black and...- cosmosue
