    Moving quail outside?

    Hi! My quails are 1 week and 4 days old. I was wondering if I could move them outside because they are stinking the house up. I love in Missouri And the temps are 90s and 80s at the highest. The lowest temp are in the 60s and low 70s. Do you think they will be able to move out?

    Saddle shaped air cell

    Hi! I incubated 11 eBay quail eggs that were shipped. Today is day 6 and I candled all of the eggs. 9/11 were developing but I noticed that most of them had a saddle shaped air cell. I got a picture but it isn’t very good. Will they still hatch? Any advice? Thanks!

I have read...
