    First Hatch

    I just have to know why newly hatched chicks will "do best" with cool water as opposed to warm water, especially when you are trying to maintain around a 95 degree core temperature of those tiny bodies.

    Wanting Jumbo Brown Hatching Eggs!

    For every 1 legit breeder selling eggs on Ebay, there are 25 "breeders" selling junk. There is a really easy method to "research" the Ebay seller that you are buying from. All you have to do is to click on his/her feedback history, and do a little search as to how often that seller is buying...

    Chick starter for my baby quail , does it have enough protein?

    What you feed your birds really depends on what your goals and expectations are. As has been stated in this section repeatedly lately, everyone does stuff differently. However, if you are trying to raise the most effecient, healthy, high producing flock of birds possible, it is best to feed a...

    Is it just me or does this Quail forum move really really slow?

    Ahhhh......The Quail Wars....I really miss those days, although I needed a calculator to keep track of all the "points" recieved here. I always thought that I would win a free toaster or something for accumulating so many points at such a rapid pace. It's so much quieter here now that everyone...

    Tatanka Breeders Club: Meat Quail project with history, discussion, pictures and videos

    Not only good, but ****** good. A couple of keepers there. A few more and you will have the foundation stock that you need to start building buffaloes of your own in short time.

    Is it just me or does this Quail forum move really really slow?

    There are other quail forums that are very active, and some of the posters that used to post here are using other, more active forums. It is against BYC rules to mention any other sites on the BYC venue, so it is difficult to pass on any info regarding alternative sites. If you search, you will...

    SO many fully developed quail chicks not hatching

    The problem IS ventilation. Everyone, especially people new to hatching are so concerned with maintaining high humidity during lockdown, that they often leave too many vent plugs in, and therefor cut off the oxygen supply to the unhatched chicks. One poster answered his/her own question by...

    Bobwhite/Coturnix Hybrid Quail

    I have some of those too. I keep them penned up with my catdog. Sorry, no pictures. My Grizzlygator ate my camera.

    Poor hatch rate for coturnix quail

    Oh, I'm in total agreement that it happens, but I'm not so sure that it happens as often as I read about it, and after a while, it can become an "easy out" for shippin' and recievin' less than premium hatching eggs. How cool would it be for the volunteer poster above, to have his wife zap a...

    Poor hatch rate for coturnix quail

    That would be an "off the hook" good kind of experiment. It would have to be x-rayed at a similar intensity that they would use in the mailrooms, but would be an excellent project if she could explain what she was attempting to the x-ray tech, and have him/her try to simulate it.

    Poor hatch rate for coturnix quail

    The "x-ray thing" is given way too much credit for damaging shipped eggs. If one connects the dots, it's mostly used as a "CYA" for some people that are shipping slightly less than fresh eggs. Over the years I have participated in at least 200 or more egg shipments, and there were none of them...

    Tatanka Breeders Club: Meat Quail project with history, discussion, pictures and videos

    Moby, I've recently been in contact with a potential "new" steward in the east. I will be sending out 6 dozen or so to ensure a great start. I currently have over 300 eggs in my incubators right now and expect the first ones to start zippin' on Sunday. In the next couple of weeks I should be...

    I got quail, do you have quail?

    I consistantly process my jumbos at 10 weeks and 12 to 13oz. If let them go a little longer, many of them hover in the 13 to 15 oz range. I have a couple of older birds teetering on 16oz.

    Tatanka Breeders Club: Meat Quail project with history, discussion, pictures and videos

    Ok TD, Yes, the Northeast facility has offered these eggs to the local public for about 3 months now. The response from my local community has been incredible. I'm currently running 30 laying hens, churning out the eggs daily, and I have sold so many, and currently have a backlog of pre-orders...

    Who all is raising Jumbo Browns?

    We absolutley are overdue for an egg exchange. I'd like to run a version of your white bird project, possibly crossing into the "whitewings", which by the way, are steadily increasing in size. Won't be long before we hear reports that the whitewings are inferior birds that had to be culled from...

    Tatanka Breeders Club: Meat Quail project with history, discussion, pictures and videos

    And I can back him up with another shipment from the Northeast facility if you need some more of them sometime down the road. No cash exchange, just pay it forward to another worthy steward, somewhere down the line. That's how the Tatanka group rolls.

    Who all is raising Jumbo Browns?

    I am also a keeper of the Tatanka line of quail (RI facility), and it's comical to see bad reviews given by people who have never actually owned or raised an authentic Tatanka. Here's some reality for you all. Although I have gifted many, many, shipments of eggs to new worthy stewards, I do...

    Quail and chickens

    I keep mine together too. Sometimes when one of the quail jumps up on a chicken' back, I swear I can hear him yell "Yeehaww ride 'em cowboy", as he kicks the chicken in the side and they ride off into the sunset.
