1519 + 6 (neighbor had some hatch) = 1525

1495-3 = 1492

I brought quails from different sources and I must say that the Jumbos were really calm. That said, when I started hatching my own quails the first generation was jumpy and didn't let me pick any of them up. The originals from the farm are still relaxed and won't put up too much of a fight...

211 + 30 = 241

that is awesome! keep us updated! I've never seen an adult albino quail before...most of the posters stop taking pics of the quails after 2 weeks.

I've seen doves housed together with quails. I'm not sure if that poses any problems but the owner told me he didn't have any for 2 years now. I'm sure a more experieneced member can probably clear things up on this.

How long have they been on the wire for? Looks to me like their feet aren't liking the wires too much. I had some similar experience with the metal wire mesh. I didn't want to take out the entire floor so I went to home depot and brought the plastic 1/2 inch mesh and laid it on top of the...

do you combine the poop with compost when making your compost tea? or do u just mix the poop with water? what's the ratio you're using?

I was hoping to keep it under my quail cage to absorb some of the poop as it falls down. I guess that's not happening. I've been using it as compost but it's pretty strong and it's already burned a few of my plants even after letting it sit for 2 weeks. I'll try mixing in some carbon material...

So I was thinking up of a way to make my life easier with all this quail poop and was wondering if there was a plant that can live in quail poop?

My pen is about 1.5 feet off the ground. So far no problems but it's only been 3 days since I put them out there. I hate to derail the thread but what are these "underground predators" you're talking about?

Too late...I've opened up the incubator a few times already :( But good news is that the humidity is at a steady between 60 and 70. Should it go higher? I thought if it went too high the chicks could drown?

Should I put food and water in there? It only incubated for 15 days should I be worried? it seems pretty healthy...and loud.

For the time being yes you can house them together. Long term I think it's better to introduce 1 to 3 more females to divert the male's attention. Even with a 3 to 1 ratio females to male in my community cage there are some females who are bald from all the mating.

I got my first hatchling just a few minutes about and now I'm lost! Do I leave the chick in the hatcher (temp 100.5 humdity 60) or do I move it to a brooder? should I give it water and food now? I have a bottle cap of water in there but it doesn't seem to want to drink from it.

I don't know if it's been mentioned before but is there a way to get this thread stickied? I'm always running to this thread to see what to do next and sometimes it takes a while to find.

Don't lose hope. I only saw my males mounting the italian but after 12 days of incubation all but 1 egg was fertile. I'm crossing my fingers for a good hatch.

I've heard that call before. Mine do the same thing as well sometimes. The calls are normally short though, usually just a few seconds then "plop"

I had the same problem. My italian was like kate upton in a room full of rosie odonells. I took her out and put her with some younger quails to let her recover some feathers. I tied reintroducing her after a week and it seems she was even more popular. within 30 seconds of her being...

I'm thinking it's genetics. I have a bunch of males and each one has a unique crow. there's one in particular that's loud and shrill. He crows like that no matter what I do with him. If he goes into the main cage he fights and crows. If he's inside his own pen he crows. Last few days I put...
