    We hatched one single Pekin duck last week. Today when I was handling him I noticed his butt looks like this. It hasn't looked like this before, Normal? Just a boy? A prolapse? It's eating, drinking and pooping fine If something is wrong what do I do? Thanks, we are quite attached to it already

    My FrankensteinBATOR Quail hatching + Robin, 2 surprises in one.... Need some help quick.... ;)

    I agree. Every time you open up your incubator the humidity changes and could cause the membrane to dry like shrink wrap prevent them from breaking out. Be careful removing the shell it's best to let it dry up and fall off. It's kind of like a woman's placenta because there are blood vessels...

    male Coturnix living arrangements

    I usually cull unwanted males between 6-8 weeks. At about 6 weeks is when they start picking on each other. If you do separate them keep then out of sight from the females.

    Want to guess the sex?

    Unless they are of the brown ( jumbo Browns, Pharos ) coloration you will only be able to tell by vent sexing and they are still to young for that.

    white birds with brown skull caps

    White quail with spots on their heads are A&Ms. Vertebrates means Internal spine and bones. Invertebrates have a hard outside. This doesn't mean crests. I'm a mammal and don't have a crest.

    Coturnix Quail enclosure questions?

    No coop is needed. Quail lay eggs where ever they want. 1 sq. ft per bird and don't go more then 12" high because they might jump up and break their necks. Converted rabbits hutches also work. I keep ours in breeding groups of 1 male to 4 females. If for meat then we use a larger pen. Make sure...

We found out the eggs hatch the best and fastest this way. Last hatch all hatched within 4 hours. The hatch before that happened over 3 days...

    Introducing new quail - how to do it right?

    Best thing to do is to move them all to a new cage. We have a Rosetta male that no one likes and we had a pen of all females who wouldn't accept a new male even after moving to a new cage. We decided it was time for them to go and start a new line. It sucks but we just didn't have cages to...
