So, I have looked all over to see where I can turn the post like the other way. Right now, it lists them by order of posts, starting with the first post in a thread. I would like to view them by most recent post first. Any help out there for me?
Living in Puyallup, right next door to the fair. Raising a dog, 2 cats, 8 Bobwhites, 2 Buff Orps, 2 Silkies, 1 Americauna, 4 daughters and a son. and 4 eggs in the cooker for a hatch day in 14 days.
I have quail eggs that are fertile and I will give away to anyone close enough to stop by or...
So, for a full grown bird pen, the Startena is OK? Because it is 30%? Or would it be better to mix the startena with some chicken crumble to lower the % a little?
I had 2 that I helped in the last few days. One spent too much time in the egg and his foot was screwed up. I put him in with the rest and within 30 seconds, the others were picking at it. And...he couldn't get around. I had to cull him. (My wife gave me the: "Don't mess with mothers...
I have 5 quail that hatched in the last 5-6 days. I have been watching them closely because last time, I had to put a few down because their toes were messed up. I have discovered today that on 3 of the 5, there is at least one, but usually more, toe that is black on the end, to include the...
I have a male that I have let out and after 3 days, he had not went more then 15-20 feet from my pen. Every night, he would sit at the door of the pen and walk off in the morning when I came to feed the other 2...So, I let him back in and he is happy as anything now.
But, I hatched them...
I have 2 male bobwhites (did you say what kind of quail you have?) and they call maybe once a day for a few minutes in the evening. It is a great sound to listen to on a quiet evening.
In with one of the hens...as in, with chicken hens? I am not sure any of my chickens would sit the eggs for 22 days. But I sure would love if they did!!!
Good luck with yours. Our first batch of our own eggs are hatching as I type right now...we are at 6 of 12 hatched at 24 days...for bobwhite.
From your photos, somethings I noticed.
1: White lights...go with red (as was mentioned before) it will cut down aggression.
2: Cardboard. Cardboard is slippery for little feet. Put down paper towels on the whole bottom of the box. That way, you can get rid of the straw. the paper...
Everything I have ever seen for Bobwhites is 22 days. In the three times I have hatched them, it has been exactly 22 days to hatch.
However, today is day 24 and I had 3 quail hatch from a batch (This is my first attempt to hatch eggs taht were from our own adults.)
So: They take 22 days...
