Hi all, I am new to hatching Serama chickens but my chicks are going into day 3 now and have not touched a drop of food or water. They are chirping constantly when not under the electric hen and I am not sure what to do. I have had this with my quails but they always start eating after a couple...
Good day all,
First off this will be a bit of a long question so sorry about that. I have been having some problems with my button quail since moving to an electric hen. Previously I was brooding my button quail under a heat lamp but one day when the lamp became loose and nearly burned my house...
Hi all, I have a bit of a pandemic going on with my Coturnix and button quail. I have been having really high hatch rates on both my Buttons and Coturnix quail the problem is nearly everyone is a rooster. I hatched 15 Coturnix quail a couple of months back and 13/15 of them were roosters. And in...
Good day all,
I just wanted to post about my lovely birds. I have a fairly large flock of Coturnix Quail and some buttons but these two in the pictures are Nutmeg and Marmite, and they are my semi trained house quail. I hatched them out myself, so they are really tame. I have a large flock of...

Greetings folks,
My latest batch of coturnix are top class pigs, they are 11 days old and complete pigs they have gone through 2kg of crumb in a week ! My birds spread most of it on the floor as I don't have trough as I like to promote natural living. To cut a long story short I have decided...
Hi all, my last batch of Coturnix had an amazing 100% hatch rate they all hatched on the 17th day except for one that tried to hatch a day later but was stuck in the shell and just half zipped and was zipping in the wrong direction for some reason. As a rule I don't intervene but seeing as this...
Hi I need advice please, my 3 week old button quail are currently living inside in my house in a brooder and the temperature is 26c (78f) in the brooder and the chicks are all on the extremities of the brooder and it seems they are trying to keep away from the hot side of the brooder for the...
