Hello from Cape Canaveral but soon to be satellite beach :)

Yes, the temp and humidity were perfect the whole time. I let them set for a little more than 24 hours before I put them in the incubator, and lockdown was on the correct day. My brooder was at the right temp and they all drank and ate. I am beginning to think that it was a bad batch. I lost...

No, they won't. Not until the males are consistently mating with the females will they be fertile. If you search for fertile eggs in BYC there is a post where is shows you what they will look like when you crack them open.

So I ordered 50 button quail eggs from a group on yahoo. I lost 5 in transport, 3 were duds, and less than half of the ones left hatched. Since then I have lost 3. They are just over 2 weeks old and I am looking for a better place to purchase button quail eggs in case I want to hatch them again.

They are doing good. It wasn't as large a hatch as I expected but I am love my little button quails. I'm glad to hear the ones you got are doing well :)

Yes, the do.

That's great!!!

They are tibetans.

Final count is 16 BQ and 4 from my own hens. I'm pretty happy with it but I would have preferred a better BQ ratio. I ordered 50 eggs, lost 5 in transport, 3 were infertile, and 1 died after pipping. I am ecstatic with the ones from my own hens. This was my first time incubating them.

Nope. Put her back in this morning and she was fine for a little bit but then she was back at it. I am going to move them back into their old cage and see what happens. If she continues this behavior I am not sure what I am going to do.

Sadly no. He got one leg under him but there must be something wrong with the other leg. I put him back in with the others last night and he does fine but this morning I noticed the others were starting to pick on him. I'm going to set him up in the quail ER (as I call it, lol) and give him a...

That is too funny!

I have 2 females to 1 male in a cage a 3x3. I put her in her own cage last night so hopefully she will play nice today.

So I moved him into his own brooder with grippy liner. I take him out every few hours so he can get water and some food from the main brooder. He is such a little trooper. Hopefully this will help him some. Sycamore ~ dental floss. It was probably due more to my inexperience than him being...

Today I had one of my females going after the the other female. They have never had a problem before. Just yesterday they got switched to a smaller cage and in my 2nd cage the male has started to crow. I took the female that was picking the fight and put her in an empty cage. IS it because they...

Good luck! I can't wait to see some pics.

I have tried hobbling the legs together but it just isn't working, The little bugger keeps getting out of it. What else can I do? Do they eventually fix themselves? My husband things I should try small rubber bands. Will those work?

It still needs the middle door put in. It's not pretty but it's made from recycled wood and only cost us $30 to make
