    Hello, I have a two week old leghorn chick with a slipped tendon.

    Still unsure about what incubator to buy!

    Hello! I have been planning on incubating some more quails for a while but have been very busy. Finally I am able to hatch them, but I haven't got an incubator.

    Quail! I want to give them the best life possible.

    It has been a year now since I hatched out my coturnix quail. Hatching was one of the best experiences ever. They were so cute and lovely. 11 out of 12 birds hatched, but I sadly lost two chicks that were born with deformed eggs. I worry that was my fault, and it was very hard because I was very...

    Sad Quail- Need Help

    I had a pair of coturnix quail who were the tamest out of all of my quail. I could hold them without any fuss, I could leave their coop doors open and they wouldnt care.

    Broody Coturnix Quail

    I previously posted a thread about my quail having stopped laying, but I have recently discovered six eggs she was hiding in the Aspen shavings. It seemed like a 'nest' so I gave her a bunch of hay and put the eggs in it and she immediately sat on them. She has been sitting on them for about a...

    Quail Not Laying!

    I have been wanting to incubate some of my single hen's eggs, hoping to get more females. I was even considering trying to see if she would go broody. She is currently kept with one other male, but they seem to get along very well and I don't see any signs of stress, etc. She only lays every so...
