    Worried I screwed up on hatch day

    My eggs are hatching today. I began with 32 eggs with a hope of a 70% hatch rate. This morning I could hear them chirping through the egg shells when i opened the incubator to check on them. After work, 4 had hatched. Now I'm up to 7, and it is now 10:20pm. 3 days ago, I removed the rollers...

    Should I trust this chicken coop for my quails?

    How to get quails to tend their eggs?

    It seems that quail hens will neglect their eggs after laying them. I want to raise another generation of quails, but my quails don’t seem to care. Do I have to buy an egg incubator? Or can I trust my hens to care for their eggs?

    Which rooster quail to cull?

    I’m a first time quail farmer. I now have 2 roosters and 1 hen. The brown rooster overpowers the white one. Thus, the white one got bad head trauma from the brown one, but he survives with some bald spots. They are both mean to the hen when caged together, and obviously mean to each other...
