Ok so the setting on the incubator at 100.5 is hitting 99.1 or 99.2, if I have it set at 101 its hitting 100. With the recommended ideal temps being 99.3 to 99.6 do I go with the lower setting or higher setting?
Is this silver quail coloring on a female? Or is the 2nd picture what the quail coloring would be. If it's not what color are they?
NOT MY PHOTO
This one is labeled white quail.
I feed right now all Nutrena products but one that is Purina. Feed is Nutrena all flock pellets 20%, Nutrena chick starter / grower 18% mixed with Nutrena meat bird crumble 22%(2 to 1) and Purina all flock 20%. The crumbles are gone before the pellets in most pens. I do give choice of the Purina...
Project #2 start. This project started the first time I test hatched eggs from my flock. The concept was there already. It's why I ordered Spitzhauben, Ameraucana and Phoenix from Cackle.
I have four F1 hens out of Spitzhauben x Ameraucana. Project will use two roosters and thirteen hens...
Project start was with my test breeding my blue golden duckwing bantam EE to six silver Phoenix hens. I lost the blue golden duckwing EE Dusty to a coon in April/May 2024. One of his sons turned out to be a blue silver duckwing and I selected him to continue the blue golden duckwing Ameraucana...
Question for those that keep back up roosters for breeding. Do you keep the back up by their self? If so are they far away from the girls or is the pen right next to the girls pen? How big is the pen or how big should it be. Not sure I'll have enough for a batchelor pen and while I've had very...

Just guessing on what kind of bantams I picked up. Two where polish but the other two I'm unsure about.
The ones in question are the little black and white ones in the photos. They have single combs and the legs do look shorter than the two bantam polish.
She was fine 4 days ago.
3 days ago she was sleeping more and fluffed up some but not alot. Was sun bathing with every one. I would reach out to touch her and she would take off like normal.
2 days ago she seamed a little lethargic. I would touch her and she would look at me and the walk off...
So reading around it seams the silver sebrights are genetically worse off than the golds? If this is so, what would be a good way to strengthen them?
All three that hatched for me have a weird toe issue. Same toe is crooked on all three of them. Not sure it was in incubation issue or not tho...
