I noticed 3 of my quail had broken or "limp" legs. They couldn't get around to eat or drink very well. so I decided we needed to cull them. They were about 9/10 weeks old, all female. We cleaned them up, as we were going to eat them because we don't believe in wasting, and saw that all 3 had...
Howdy! I've got 17 adult jumbo brown Coturnix. The last 2 batches of eggs that we put in our incubator, both hatched 1 yellow chick that "turned" white once it got bigger.
What are these called, and how do we sex them?
Thanks.
I have 11 adult Brown Coturnix Quail. I set 33 of their eggs in the incubator. They're hatching today and we see a white chick in there. How would that happen?
I forgot to stop and grab chicken feed yesterday, I don't have any left and I have 12 chickens. What can i feed
them to get by for 2 days?
Thanks a bunch!
Day 18 for my quail eggs wad 5/16 (monday). 8 of my eggs hatched, 2 didn't hatch all the way and I have 13 eggs left in the incubator. Should I leave them another day...?
I've already gotten 8 out of 23 eggs since yesterday morning.
There's an egg in the incubator that looks like the baby quail TRIED to hatch..but it hasn't moved for hours. Is it a goner?
The others are doing great so far..
I forgot to pick up some chick starter at the feed store this past weekend, and I've got 2 quail that just hatched today, and 21 eggs left in the incubator. I've got 28% protein gamebird grower. Is that okay to feed to the baby quail..or do I need to run to the feed store?
Okay. I have 3 hens that are laying right now. We've been getting three eggs every day for a while now. We left early yesterday morning to get some stuff done, and I didn't even check to see if there were any eggs. My nephew went out there, while we were gone, got 3 eggs and called me to tell me...
Whew, it was a long day waiting yesterday. Finally went to sleep, and woke up to one baby quail! I've got 22 eggs left. Let's see how many we get!
The humidity was at 60% and now it's down to 56%. Is it okay to open up the incubator and add a little water? I haven't seen any movement in...
We're on Day 17 with our Coturnix Quail eggs..and we're starting to think we aren't going to get any at all. None have pipped at all. So sad waiting 17 days for nothing..
I THINK I'm doing this right...
The first one...is kinda light on the small end, then there's a dark ring, then light again.
This one is light on the small end, then dark throughout the rest...
I tried to take good pictures...but I'm new...
Please tell me what you think...today is day 14...
We had 10 4 month old chickens, and 4 chickens that are over a year old. One of our 4 month old chickens started acting funny, she wasn't clucking anymore, she stopped running around with the other chickens. She used to come up to me and sit in my lap. I walked out there 2 weeks ago to feed them...
We're raising our chickens just for eggs right now, so when they lay them, I immediately put them in the fridge. I cracked open an egg this morning and put it in the skillet. I saw something red and white in the yolk, was kind of grossed out, so took it out and showed my boyfriend. We didn't...
I checked the incubator and it was at 101F, it's a still-air, so I went outside for about an hour or so, and came back in. I checked the incubator and, I have no idea WHAT happened, but it was at 111F! Are my Quails fried? Should I go ahead and toss out the eggs, or wait and see what happens...
