So i hatched around 30 quail this morning and 3 have splay leg i put the bandage splint on them hoping it will help and they just lay there with the splint on they're on paper towels it doesnt seem to be helping them i dont know what to do
I feed my quail 30% game bird startena their entire lives,you can use the venting method or the beak method pretty sure those are the only 2 for the texas a&ms
Alright so i've been storing quail eggs for incubation for a couple of days now and was wondering how you keep the humidity at an ideal spot 45-55% ive heard of the wet paper towel but that seems like it would keep it too high
Thats not good, i could sell you some eggs possibly once mine start laying near march if you plan on having coturnix quail i recommend you get the regular ones or jumbo brown they are much easier to sex
Yes it should be legal to own quail in los angeles, other restrictions may apply to this. Im new to Coturnix quail myself and i would only recommend having 1 male in every pen but if it is big enough you could run another male in. Coturnix quail are pretty safe from weather as long as they have...
I cant seem to find a high protein crumble at the local tractor supply,there are some local feed stores i guess ill go check them out to see what they have.thanks a lot what type of sand should i be giving them to bathe in?
Alright im having some trouble. i bought them 20% protein feed chicken starter/grower but it also said for quail. i read on here that if they arent getting enough protein they will peck.also do i have to buy them grit or sand? all im giving them now is feed and water
So how can i sex them,someone told me if they crow they are males i know this is true,but is there any way i could sex them visually they are all 6+weeks old
I bought my quail and put them in the wire cage i built i have 2 males and 10 hens and some quail are eating feed like crazy and feed is flying everywhere. and some of them are sitting in the feeder flying feed all over their feathers. also they have a bare spot on their backs someone told me...
Yeah,thats awful glad to got them to a better place. anyways the people i was going to buy the quail from today are out of town until tomorrow i think ill get 8 hens and 2 males they have will have a lot of space and i built an outside pen for them.
Im going to buy quail off craigslist currently 6 weeks old i have built a pen and have the right feed. how many males and females should i get? Is regular 24% protein game bird feed enough? should i put them under a heat lamp in the winter?
